It might have (and I wouldn't mind replacing Jitterbug with something
that is actually maintained itself!),
Being somewhat overwhelmed at the moment, I read this quickly as "maintains itself," and thought that would be pretty neat.
Back on earth, and speaking with no inside knowledge, I have the impression someone has to spend a lot of time removing R bug reports that really never should have been admitted into the repository.
Since this is a wish list, it would be nice if there were a system to allow reports to sit in a temporary "unconfirmed bug reports" area where all users could add comments like "confirmed in R-patched on zzz," "works in Linux," "fixed in R-devel," "here is a work around," "here is a patch," "this is a FAQ," or "read the documentation." Then some volunteer or the package maintainer would occasionally need to sort these, but a lot more of the work would be done by the larger R community.
