Well, better late than never... (sorry 'bout that)

Octave-Forge bugs are stored. If we just want a bug tracker (which I
guess is better than me having a bunch of mails marked as unread; that's
my way of keeping track of things), then I guess we can use the one at
Source-Forge.

My concern is for the users: most users have a too hard time figuring
out if a bug is in Octave or in Octave-Forge (heck, even old farts like
myself makes mistakes in this regard from time to time). So, I think it
would be nice to give the users a single point of entry for filing bug
reports. JWE's point about not all Octave-Forge developers should have
full access to modifying the Octave bug tracker is a good one, and I
agree that Octave-Forge should not use the Octave tracker. Should we
then use another bug tracker hosted at Savannah? If bugs can easily be
moved between the two trackers, then fine by me. If not, I don't see the
point. Has it been determined if it is easy to move bugs between
Savannah trackers?
