This is getting silly. If the community decision is to use this Mantis
thing (which seems to me to be about as inconvenient a tool as I could
imagine) then we need a proper commitment. So far almost nothing is in
there. What about all the other bugs in the BFAV archive? What is the
expected future of BFAV - one of the more useful tools I've seen.
At least we could try something helpful like [BUG] emails automagically
going into Mantis. For those of use in low-bandwidth hell a webstie
based system like Mantis is extremely inconvenient - connect, log in,
ask for a list of bugs, look at one.... Bah. BFAV at least caches stuff
so you can go away and do something else useful in the meantime.
