It is difficult to track the workflow around bugs without some kind of bug-friendly workflow tool. I.e. Suspected Confirmed Triaged Patched Tested Committed (in master / development branch) Released (in version X.Y.Z) etc. Importantly, Suspected, Confirmed, and Triaged all happen before anything appears in a patch manager tool if I'm not mistaken, and Committed and Released are also not likely present there. So a patch tool only covers 2/7 steps by itself. There are a number of bug tools which have email integration, Bugzilla or Debian BTS. The Debian BTS is especially email friendly, since Debian is a big email community. Since DPDK is for hackers I think it makes more sense to be email friendly than web-friendly like Github or JIRA.
