You sound like someone with just the right motivation to write its replacement. :-)


Seriously, I've seen a lot of open source bug systems (from GNATS to bugzilla to trac) and, to be frank, they all pretty much suck, but hey, they're free and beggars can't be choosers, so that's what we get to use. That is, at least, until someone writes a much better open source bug tracking system. That's where someone with an itch to scratch comes into the picture since writing a good bug tracking system isn't particularly glamorous and your users rather inclined to hate pretty much anything you do (in bug tracking systems, one man's feature is another man's bug).

That said, trac being open source also means that the project is free to improve it (hopefully sending the patches back upstream). That would probably be easier than starting from scratch, assuming the CC functionality you're asking about doesn't exist.

How do you add yourself to the CC of the ticket?  I'm logged in, I'm
viewing the bug, and I can't find any way to do anything other than
add a comment or attach a file.

I tried to put together a complete list of all outstanding bugs and
crash reports that I saw on the XDarwin_TODO wiki page and this list
and create a ticket for each of them on xquartz.macosforge.org.  If
you emailed a crash report to the list or have a bug you particularly
want squashed, please check that it is in the list here ( http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/report/1
 ) and add yourself to the CC of the ticket if you so desire.  I
added some CCs already where I thought it was appropriate.

If you do have any further bugs to report, click on the 'new ticket'
link at the top right of the page when you're in our bug reporting
section.  Right now, there's a bug on the site where the link only
appears if you're logged in (should be fixed soon).  You can also go
directly to http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/newticket
