The biggest problem of the old mw.org queue was that it was simply neglected
for months at a time; my own commit access request was up there for over six
months before *anyone* looked at it *at all*.  I agree that it was more
transparent and maybe 'better'; but the most important requirement of the
system is that it *works* and is used.  If the OTRS queue works for the
current svn admins, then that's an important merit.
