Please feel free to add these options to the tools wiki[1], you could
also add a link to this thread there.

One thing I would like to emphasize about the Kanboards: we can have two
tools for a project:

- a proper bug tracker (e.g. Debian BTS or Github issues or whatever the
project uses) for bugs and feature requests

- a Kanban board for meta-issues: things like "create a wiki for the
GSoC project", "create weekly blog".  This keeps the meta-issues out of
the bug tracker

It is at the discretion of mentors.  Some projects may simply keep the
meta-issues in a to-do list on the GSoC project's wiki page.

Daniel
