Re: Proposed Issues and Accepted Issues

I think that this is a great idea, particularly if we can get the
issue proposer to explain proposed issues (instead of us having to not
only gather external issues, but also manage them).

There are a number of potential pitfalls related to denial of service
attacks which I would hope that whatever issue tracking system gets
used/developed can manage.
