By the way, my usual offer/shameless plug[*] still stands: anyone who can stand the interface is welcome to file, triage, and work on bugs in the bugtracker at , as long as it seems possible that your bugs might also affect Debian. "Work on" usually means "forward to the git mailing list", but maybe having a bug number is a comfort to some people. ;-) See for instructions. All that said, that is still not The Bug Tracker for the git project. I would not want it advertised on git-scm.com until we have had some more practice dealing with outside bugs, and maybe more contributors sorting through them. It may be that others provide a similar service. Hope that clarifies a little, Jonathan [*] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/181336/focus=181402
