One of the reasons I am interested in rolling a custom bug tracker is
because I like the idea of using the 9front system to maintain and
host the 9front system.  Every outside facility is something we don't
control and will probably have to replace later (in this case, if we
ever get rid of python, which everyone says we want to do).  In my
opinion, alien software (as in, not Plan 9 native) should always be
considered a last resort.  Otherwise, why are we doing any of this at
all?

That said, we could just use this.
