Has anyone bothered to ask Ethan why he has chosen not to use the SF  
bugtracker? It had to have been a conscious decision so unless those  
reasons have changed, I would expect that those same reasons would  
apply here. If one of those reasons is that it's a pain to manage and  
he doesn't have the time/inclination, then it may work out well. A  
community supported bugtracker is all well and good but unless there  
is developer participation it's only marginally valuable. For the most  
part that developer is Ethan (not to minimize *any* of the significant  
work by other people, it's just that he's the main developer and  
gatekeeper for all patches).

p.s. IMHE, there are not a lot of bugs related to nagios-stable and  
any real, verified bugs get fixed relatively quickly. Could be my rose- 
colored glasses though.
