Hey, I'm starting to feel like we seriously need to consider some form of a bug/feature tracker for Nmap (and sub-projects). There are a lot of requests/features/bugs that get forgotten about (I'll take the blame for some of those :) )
I'm not sure they get forgotten. David usually does an outstanding job keeping track of everything that is said on the list. The problem is that he doesn't have time to do everything and the rest of us only maintain/pay attention to small parts of the project (like me with nping, or others with NSE, etc).
and, while I know we have a TODO file, it seems like it would be easier to track new features and to plan releases if we had an actual bug tracker.
I agree. I know Nmap has a kind of old-school development style but I think a bug tracker would be helpful. The Tcpdump/Libpcap project uses sourceforge and they seem to be happy with it. I'd rather NOT use Sourceforge (because it requires registration and involves receiving newsletters, etc), but we could host something like Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/), which is quite easy to use. Bugzilla is another option. One of the problems with using a bug tracker is that users may only report bugs to the tracker and not discuss the issues on the list. On the other hand, I guess there are users that do not want to subscribe to the list and therefore do not report bugs or request features. Just my two cents.
