I think Jesse's point (or, if he's not willing to claim it, my point) is that, compared to the mandatory comment system, it makes much *more* sense to have a mandatory field for “URL to the BTS for this project”. At least it can be expected that in many cases project maintainers will *want* to use a conventional BTS, VCS, discussion forum, etc. So that route makes more sense than a mandatory comment system outside the project maintainer's control, while providing the user-participation that is the purported motivation. -- \ “Spam will be a thing of the past in two years' time.” —Bill | `\ Gates, 2004-01-24 | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
