I'm not sure this is necessary. Setting that up might not be easy
given the limitations of Savane, the software running Savannah.
Furthermore, there's no commitment to fix any bugs, and users should
already know this. We can remind them. It's a volunteer-driven
project, except when jwe manages to find someone to pay him to
implement this or that feature. ;-)

For some of us, it actually increases it. :-)

I prefer the wiki option. We already have one, so why not use it?
Quick collaborative writing is precisely what a wiki should do, by
etymology.

So, jwe is the release manager again, right? How are releases going to
happen? I have a few patches cooking, although I don't think any of
them are critical. Should I wait until after the release to propose
them, or can we still have parallel development in a separate branch
of new features while the freeze is in effect?
