Can we use this to submit new packages, updates, etc. as RFEs against either
a "distribution" component or the existing "Cygwin Applications" component?

For example, entries could be assigned to the package coordinator, with
cygwin-apps@ on to the default Cc: list. Votes (if needed), problems, and
reviews can be added as comments. The tools to determine package information
from structured text could be adapted to pull directly from the back-end
data base.

(The mock-ups I made for a custom package-management site were originally
modelled after Bugzilla.)

infinite so anyone who doesn't like it can move out. -- Alan Cox
