Hello,

Sticking with a privately controlled bug tracker is probably a good 
idea. However, trac really needs to be cleaned up, as there are a ton of 
3-5 year old bugs floating around that have long since been fixed. I've 
started closing the few I can't reproduce in scm.

As a new contributor, I initially had gotten the impression that no one 
used trac, and I was discouraged from reporting/fixing bugs there.
