I don't see a need for bugzilla either, but that's another problem. I'd previously been against bugzilla because I was sure that the quality of bug reporting from the cygwin community would pretty much suck. However, I do see some benefits in terms of attaching binaries, large test cases, large strace logs, etc. which would just clutter the mailing list. It just needs some volunteers to act as policemen to either close non-bugs or ask for appropriate amounts of information. I had gotten some volunteers when I first asked for this a while ago but I dragged my feet getting bugzilla set up. It is set up now and just needs to be populated with the correct categories and sub-categories. cgf

I would imagine it would be bureaucratic . Like debian reportbug, cygbug is quite easy and fast to use. Granted, bugzilla gathers history and has features needed. I'll investigate if program could interface to bugzilla, when it's used. Hm. How would bugzilla deal with package maintenance shifts like those found in Debian: RFA Request for adoptation (who wan't to maintain THIS..)
