I have to say, I agree. I was asked to make a ticket but I will not because I cannot accept github's privacy policy. So, I sit and wait in silence for my tiny problem to be solved. Since I am not a coder I cannot contribute and therefore have to accept decisions like moving to github (which I think was the right one btw) and the consolidation of tickets there (which I don't think is the right decision - if I didn't have privacy issues, I would use Google's cloud, and so far my need for owncloud does not outweigh my need for privacy so accept it is what I have done). I don't see why you can't have a separate bug tracker, or even a person who consolidates issues in your chosen bug-tracker, but until you do I will be waiting without a voice. Simon
