The problem is that discovery is hard… that is, to know where to put the issue.

We should maybe be better at then opening issues in the sub projects as part of 
the daily issue tracker check.

One meta-issue is that some issues might be raised in Pharo, but should be 
raised in some sub-project (Spec, Iceberg, Microdown, …).

I for one has been working mostly in Microdown, and would not obviously 
discover an issue regarding Microdown raised in the Pharo project. Perhaps it 
is just I who is sluppy.

Best,
