I'll just go ahead and preface this with my own claims of 'tiredness' or at least frustration.
First the initial report was sent to the mailing list with something resembling the old scheme of bug/fix reporting (although not quite matching) rather than being posted to http://bugs.squeak.org/ . I sighed deeply but decided to simply ignore it.
Matthew kindly tried to move things in that direction, but with little apparent success.
Now I notice that you (Goran) don't once mention below the option of adding a report on Mantis under the SqueakMap category.
It has now been three years since we started with Mantis and deprecated the old report to list method. And yet new reports still occasionally appear on the list.
Yes, it's true that this is still the functionality that appears in the image. I'll accept that as the primary reason new reports continue to appear on the list.
All I can say is "Is anyone itching enough yet to actually build a system we will use?" I think it's pretty clear by now that Mantis does not represent such a system. I'll be the first to admit that Mantis doesn't cause me to want to scratch very much and so I have no confidence that I can define a system that will be accepted.
Too be more than a little blunt, it's time for all of us to put up or shut up. A few of us have complained about Mantis in the past. I'm not going to name names but I think it's time for those who don't feel like Mantis is a workable solution to start seriously thinking about the shape of a significantly more appropriate solution.

Not a failure. I find Mantis very valuable and think (as I put in some mail) some bugs reports deserve showing to students for how a bug was find , what several Squeakers have to say about, proposed and developed solutions, etc.
If good Squeaker forget do reports or he is too busy , we could wait some more time. Or someone here notice and do the report.
Maybe some could do a Squeak front end to Mantis for easier and to hand way ? Edgar
P.S. And Squeakmap always works in 3.10 ...
