Whatever. My requirements are quite simple: public accessible, no
accounts needed on 3rd party systems (like Google) to add feature
requests or comments and changes must be traceable. Using bugzilla fits
those criteria as well.

* "can do this now" requests are added to a tracker bug for the upcoming
EAPI.

Looks good so far.

I'd propose: Portage implements it in ~arch. People can start using it
in overlays.

I'd propose: Portage goes stable. 4 Weeks thereafter people are allowed
to start using it for things that aren't deps of anything
super-critical.
