New fixes/enhs should always go through squeak-dev (was Re: New font
(5707) choice is a bit problematic)

I agree. Probably the only reliable way to enforce that new fixes/enhs
always go through squeak-dev is to tweak the BFAV UI (Reviewer notepad)
so that you can't do otherwise. (I'm not exactly sure how Ned posted
his... perhaps as a reply to a different BFAV item?)
Also, it might be nice to encourage discussion of bugs/fixes to go
through squeak-dev as you say. Possibly this could also be done by
tweaking the UI... perhaps if one enters comments into the description
(body text) pane, it would go to squeak-dev by default instead of
squeak-harvest? Or, if you've entered description text, when you hit
Send it could prompt you with a choice of where to send it (with
squeak-dev as recommended default)? Of course, if you're just closing
an item and you throw in a brief explanation, you probably don't want it
to go to squeak-dev... but any real discussion should go to squeak-dev.
