As an aside after reading this over again, I apologize if this came across as not valuing the work you do as release manager. I know it's a time-intensive and often thankless task, especially when it's being done on a volunteer basis. I just wanted to be clear on that. It's certainly *nobody's* fault that sage is the way it is, and not everything about it is bad either (I think the existing issue workflow is great for the most part!). I just think it's a big enough project that it can't afford not to be developed more carefully going forward...
