You lost me there -- how do we track individual bugs then?

I'm sick and tired of having +100 mails and usenet articles that are
constantly marked unread because I might have to look at them -- if
nobody else does that.

To be useful, a bug tracker must record all bugs -- trivial and non-trivial
for the purpose of knowing who (if any) is looking into each of those bugs.

And as a repository of things to look at when we have time.


The interface to the system is less important -- but I don't really
see how you can use a central tracker database if you are off-line 
most of the time.
