yep, i even use roundup on a regular basis :)

but roundup is centralized. if i understood the Wiki proposal correctly,
we are talking about a _decentralized_ bug tracker here. just imagine
following workflow:

* you add couple of bugs (they are part of your repository, since they
are versioned as usual)
* people clone your repo (hence they get your buglist)
* people fix some of the bugs, they mark them as fixed
* you merge with other people, the bugs which they fixed will be
automatically marked as closed in your merged repo

anyway, when i first looked at the Bugs Everywhere concept, i thought
that it is exactly this decentralized nature which makes it attractive.

but then i realized that it can be of much bigger help to me -- i have
many tiny issues which aren't really worth putting into roundup. with a
concept like this, i can easily keep track of them. no fancy GUI/WEB
interface is required by me (at least at this moment). i literally want
to use it as a "scrapbook" for keeping track on things which need to be
fixed.

btw, i should have mentioned in the announcement that the whole
extension as it is now is really just a proof-of-concept. i thought it
may give people easy access to the Bugs Everywhere package for
evaluation purposes.
