So what is it better than today? A centralized place for meta-data: the bug tracking system. We have the metadata centralized. There are many places where you have hacks to refer beterrn the source and the bugs database (e.g: specially-formatted commit messages close bugs, trac-style formatting of commit messages)

Merging Posted May 16, 2008 7:34 UTC (Fri) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018) [Link] I got your point, but do you get mine? What was being discussed was the merging of metadata such as priority and all the other stuff, which could be problematic on a decentralised system (comments/patches are the easy part), and I was suggesting to _not_ automatise and risk making mistakes (e.g. priority inversion), but rather let someone (human being) decide and solve the conflict: the triager. A server does not delegate, a triager can, so this is a marginal and dynamic centralisation, rather than a full and static one, like e.g. Bugzilla.
