While I agree that RT is no silver bullet, having a history and a list
of open issues would be a good thing, as long as we are able to browse
it.

Our own BTS teaches us the importance of having a publicly viewable
'open issues' tracker, which serves as TODO, quality measurement, and
even documentation.

I am one of the somewhat demotivated by the apparent lack of
'throughput' of some of Debian's base, and am affected by it as well (I
have requested a GPG key replacement (the new key is 4096, against 1024
of the current) and had no answer for months now). I do believe that
more transparency would be very useful.

Remains to be seen if the RT install will actually be transparent
enough.

See you,
