1. I thought Mihai was setting up a web-based suite of tools that
includes a bug/issue tracker.

2. Personally I like redmine, which libssh has been using, because it
lets you convert tickets back and forth between "Bug", "Support", and
"Feature". There's nothing more insulting than "CLOSED NOTABUG" when a
user reports a bug, but it turns out to be a badly needed small
feature or a support request.
However, I am not insisting we use Redmine by any means.

3. I will look into Phabricator later. That said, I looked into it a
little bit, and the variety of supported authentication methods looks
awesome. Hopefully they are easy to setup. Screenshot:
