I've often had a hard time searching for results in email archives
because the datum used for indexing changes. Different people change
the subject line etc. You can't index by date a fair bit of the time
because there will be lapses in the discussion.
One of the better things about using a bugzilla [e.g.] is that it
becomes a community responsibility, not a single person or small group.
Anyone can now update the 'TODO' list.
