The key requirement that has always come up is that the core developers
wouldn't use anything web based, so the tracker would have to somehow tie
into the mailing lists themselves ...

Again, it comes down to who will maintain it? I believe that Bruce has
already stated that he hasn't got the time/desire to do much more then his
current TODO lists, Tom has stated a lack of desire to use a web-based
tracking tool ... so we'd need to find someone with the time to act as
intermediary to update things accordingly ...

... and I think *that* is probably one of hte major show stoppers ...
