When bugtracking systems are being fenced
Today, in my quest for a media center solution that suits me, I started fixing some issues with running Elisa on CentOS 5. The Elisa project is using Launchpad for bugtracking and project management and so I created an account to send a few patches. I also took the time to see how Launchpad worked feature-wise and while doing that searched for some of my own projects that are part of Ubuntu. Launchpad looks nice, with a lot of attention to workflow and lowering the barrier for people to report issues and work together.
However what I found was a few bugreports, some for known issues and some for new issues I haven't heard of. Now the sad part is that nobody contacted me (upstream) regarding these issues. And nobody was fixing them either, let alone commenting on them.
Comparing this with Debian bugtracking system, I was notified by the maintainer when the package went into Debian.
