Of course, I believe you have not been the first to have this idea but
such a system would really make sense with a large number of developers.
Unfortunately, the core team is small and few people from the open source
community are involved in the development of Amaya. Hence the benefice you
can get from a tracking bug system does not compensate the time the team
has to spend to manage it...
