The fact that something hasn't worked well doesn't mean it won't work 
good in future. Maybe instead negating the idea of community bug 
tracker, let's seriously think what didn't work then (Maemo bug tracker) 
and how to overcome that so it would work now (Sailfish bug tracker). 
Otherwise someone could say*, that Sailfish won't succeed, because it is 
done by the same people who worked on Meego and Meego failed at Nokia.

Nemo bugzilla is mostly dead, except the Glacier UI related part. That 
would suggest that Nemo middelware does not have bugs, but strangely 
development is going on if you look at github nemo middelware parts ;) 
What happened to weekly bug triages? Maybe it's high time to think and 
talk seriously about co-creation now that it is _after_ launch.

Wait a second, isn't Sailfish OS in beta stage and already sold as part 
of product? So having that in mind it's hard to disagree with statement 
that half-baked solution is better than no solution. Maybe half-baked 
bug tracker would be much better than no bug tracker as it is now? 
Especially that as it was seen on this mailing list people have doubts 
if bugs they post here aren't omitted.
