And no one has prevented him making the same suggestions over and over

request tracker and the bug tracker and the program contribution
tracker.

I certainly have a notion of how broad this project is, how many
different people are involved in it, and how few of their voices are
heard on this mailing list.

I'll be delighted when we have installable build&measurement scripts
