the pdfTeX project needs a system for tracking bugs, patches and feature requests (whenever I integrate all the latest patches and look for open bugs I fear I forget one).
Very good idea. Also there is then one place for patches, information about development, ... and these are not distributed about a lot of mailing lists, newsgroups, ...
We could of course set up the needed software by ourself, but there are already places that offer the needed services. I did a quick survey: - Sourceforge (http://sf.net): [...] - Savannah (savannah.nongnu.org): [...] - Berlios (berlios.de): [...]
pdftex.def is already hosted there.

Also I have not found an automatic solution that only needs to be enabled. Perhaps a cronjob can be generated there that mails differences of the project summary page, if there are any.

An advantage ;-)
