honestly? the changes are horrible :(

* you changed a huge amount of code in critical areas, and there is
absolutely no documentation at all on what you did, neither in the
code nor in the commit message.
* wgotten is terrible, really, how do you come up with that? :)
* allura is a new bug tracking system, the fact that SF decided to use
it doesnt mean that they have to live together, so there's no good
reason to keep it in the sourceforce remote

I think that the addition of the allura remote and the support for the
already explicitly forwarded to SF bugs to allura is enough for a
first step

yup I noticed that, but lacked the time time to implement it properly

eheh yeah this is one of the major problems with bts-link atm, it has
a very unfriendly setup to add/manage remotes
