I suspect this question will be asked at least once, so here's my reasoning.
- Everyone who wants to participate is already a member here so they don't need to sign-up elsewhere
- Everyone here know how to use the forums already therefore they don't have to learn anything new to be involved
- Solutions such as Redmine, YouTrack etc. are great, but hosting Redmine is a bitch (Ruby on Rails), YouTrack gets expensive (i.e. it costs more than nothing) if you get more than a certain number of users and well, there are similar issues with pretty much all the other 'project management' solutions - In principle they are great but in reality they add a nasty overhead that we may want to avoid
We could use a simple free issue tracker like Mantis, but again people have to sign-up elsewhere and learn how to use it.
We all know how to use the site so for now I think we should keep it here.
Repositories will be somewhere, but that's for the devs to discuss at a slightly later date.
