Our bug tracker is open for submission by anyone. It's not a magical
thing though. So the same rules about good bug reports, repeatable
steps, preferably patches with tests and so on apply. Meta questions
and general observations about controversial issues are as likely to
get a non-optimal treatment as everywhere else ;)

We'll update the documentation soon. We will need to find a new place
to put the documentation for this fork, though.

Bug reports are ignored or never followed up upon on every mailing
list I've seen. There's a reason why bug trackers exist ;)
