However, just now, it's somewhat counterproductive. Not really IMHO: By identifying small tasks that can be handled by individuals, clashes should rarely happen. And again: an issue in the tracker can be assigned to a developer, provided the issue has been registered there. So I really ask interested people to add more reports, suggestions, feature requests, etc., to the tracker! > (Wouldn't hurt to know who currently has write access to the repo, > either). https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist.php?group=groff Werner
