What about GitHub? There have been suggestions on the Python-ideas list to do
this for any new python ideas. The idea is simple; each license becomes its
own project. Issues can then be tracked via the issue tracker, making it easy
to segregate the issues into individual threads, and as issues are corrected
or ended, the issue is closed and the git commit where the issue was dealt
with can be noted in the issue itself. Finally, as long as we're dealing with
a pure-text version of the license, we get all the power of git; diffs, forks,
merges, etc.,
Would this work for everyone?
Thanks,
Cem Karan
