But the problem is the lack of feedback the other way. In my mind,
and I think in the minds of the rest of the developers, the pgsql-bugs
list is where bug discussions happen. That's not something I have any
interest in trying to change. Thus, I see little point in trying to
maintain a bug database that's separate from the pgsql-bugs archives.

I still think a link to a searchable pgsql-bugs archive could replace
this bug database very easily.
