I started thinking that perhaps I should move my TODO list to a bug tracker. 
But because of reasons I've explained a few times before, I don't want a full 
blown public bug tracking system. The requirements for it are:

 * I am the only person who can add new bugs. Everyone else reports 
bugs/requests to this mailing list as before. (Well, I guess Stephan could use 
this as well if he wants to.)

 * Everyone can comment existing bugs.

 * Dovecot mailing list integration: Commenting a bug sends a mail to the 
mailing list. Replies to those comments go back to bug tracker (probably based 
on some [#1234] tag in subject). I would have the option of adding a comment 
that doesn't go to the mailing list (= adding some internal comment that nobody 
else cares about). Notifications about new bugs won't go to the mailing list 
(most likely it was created due to a recent mailing list post).

So the main difference to how things work now is that people would be able to 
easily browse existing bugs and add comments to them. I would add bugs there 
only when I'm not planning on fixing them within a few days. I wouldn't add 
each and every feature request there, only the things that I'm actually 
interested in developing. So the idea would be to actually get the bug tracker 
emptied at some point, not to be a graveyard of unimportant feature requests 
that about 1-2 people in the world would want.

So, any suggestions for what software could do these things? I think Request 
Tracker has those features, but it's not really the nicest/prettiest thing.
