Post fixes on Mantis?

Yes, yes, Stef was far too ambivalent. We need to *decide* what system
is used for what.

So if anyone thinks the policy should be different from the below, argue
for it.

AFAIK, nobody has currently said that he is harvesting bug *fixes* from
mantis, which implies that bugfixes and enh are posted to and handled by
the BFAV, since that's what the harvesters currently use. 

We don't really do bug tracking on the BFAV, and Mantis might be
actually useful for that, so post *bugs* to Mantis.

If you wrote a fix in response to a bug report found on Mantis, *please*
add a link (or the fixes subject) to Mantis. This will allow people
looking at the bug during beta to know there's a pending fix, and
getting it in. If some kind soul knows how to teach the BFAV to make
that easier to do, that'd be cool.

If you own a bug (currently on BFAV (anything reported to the list)),
and want it to be looked at during beta phase, make sure its on Mantis.
If you want to see whether any open reported bugs interest you, for the
same purpose, install BFAV, it shows that.
