This also means, to some extent anyway, that someone who wants to show
off the latest-greatest bug tracking system that will satisfy all our
needs could 'seed' the system with at least some of the history that's
available currently through the mailing list archives. If they (or the
part of the community interested in it, whatever) then work to keep it
up to date and show that it's a better system in whatever way, that'd go
a great deal farther towards acceptance.
