the problem is that most issue tracking systems are too heavy for our uses(correct me if i'm wrong), and if we want it really KISS we have to implent an issue tracking system ourselves (with a feature base like github's one). i think it could replace the current comment section as it is mostly used for reporting Bugs already
I also like this idea. Over the years the package pages have been cluttered with comments that are not applicable today anymore. Who cares today, if a version from 2007 did not compile correctly? Also users tend to write a small comment "version x.y is out" when flagging a package out of date and leave it there after the package has been updated. It would be nice to have a lightweight tracker, that allows the user to choose between at least 3 types of ticket: bug, comment, out-of-date. The maintainer can then close an out-of-date ticket with a git push or respond to a bug report. Comments that are not not relevant anymore can also be closed after a time. If we think this a bit further, also the request system can be integrated as tickets that can be only closed by a TU. This would also avoid the cluttering we have today with the additional mailing list, as closed tickets can be shown when needed later. best regards, carstene1ns
