I was wondering about that. It seemed odd to me to be obfuscating the email
address at all in this context since this is an error message not a webpage.
In my mind the usability enhancement of being able to cut and paste the email
address would increase the likelyhood of people reporting errors.
Obviously not a big deal either way...

Although the error message appears in the source code, and in all emails were
it has been copied and paste.

Yep, it was intentional. As Nicolas points out, the error message is
often copied-and-pasted, and the source code is indexable via Gitorious.
The change for BASE_DIR is great though. If you remove the obfuscation I
will accept the patch.

I hate people reporting errors. I should actually change that whole
thing to suggest they to send a bugfix patch.

Not all the people who are capable of producing good quality bug
reports are (practically) capable of producing patches. Good bug
reports are usefull.
Do you feel burdened by bugreports sent to you or to this list? (I
most definitely would be.) If so, could we somehow "unburden" you?
How about setting up a loose team which would handle the incoming bug
reports (for you), track/sort all of them and fix what they feel like
fixing and maybe upon request/occasionally report somewhere the
current status (how many minors and majors open).
I could be involved in something like that if it is what you and sup
community want/need.

As far as I'm concerned, that would be great. I'm open to suggestions
about how to organize this. At this point I'm pretty convinced I will
never actually like a bug tracker, and I don't have the energy to write
another one, so for someone else to take the initiative would be
awesome.

Have strong points against Ditz or this is also a lake of energy?

> Have strong points against Ditz or this is also a lake of energy?
Both, really. Ditz was an experiment, and after using it for a while I
decided it was more trouble than it was worth. I also realized that I
*did* want a centralized web site after all, and not necessarily a
complicated distributed thing, both because I want non-technical users
to be able to submit bug reports, and because development, in reality,
*is* centralized.
(I had been doing some work on Sheila, which would've provided a web
frontent that people could use to submit bug reports, but even that
wouldn't be quite what I wanted.)
Having thought about it for a while, I think what I *really* want for
Sup is something that tracks bugs/feature requests at the feature branch
level (i.e. assumes that each feature branch provides a new feature or a
bugfix), has a web interface for non-technical users to submit bug
reports and for developers to browse/modify state on bugs, and which
uses email for discussion, like I did with Whisper. (And I would be fine
with it being git-specific.)
I am now spending all my energy trying to keep myself from building such
a thing.

I think I see your point, however I think there is no less no more to
centralize in a bugtracker than in a source code management tool. Indeed
in most projects using a DVCS, they have a central repository, this
does not reduce the benefits of distributed tools. Distributed bugtrackers
does not necessary exclude having a central point. What I found cool
about distributed bugtrackers is that the bug-closing action can follow
the code that fixes the bug. Being in a branch, or being reviewed...
About non-technical users, I think that just a mail (thread) on the
mailing-list could suffice. Of course some web app can make things clearer.

Maybe Ditz is not very far from that.

It's funny, the two things that I found irritating do were a) close the
bug as part of the commit (because I kept forgetting, and also because I
like reading commits with git log -p and the ditz stuff was additional
noise), and b) translating a user's bug report email into an issue. :)

Yes this translating job can really be boring. In fact I consider every
bugtracker related task to be boring... And yes the nice part of web
based bugtracker is to put this burden on the user.

Would a move to github be considered since they now have an issue
tracker. It provides tagging of issues and voting.
As an example, take a look at
http://github.com/justinfrench/formtastic/
and clicky the Issues tab. (I chose this project simply because I was
watching the railscast for it and noticed the Issues tab)

How about SITF responsible of the boring suff
- First line processing of inbound issues (relevance, duplication, ...)
- Issue overview
- Supervise that fixed/handled issues get closed appropriately
- Draw attention to triaged "bad" bugs
I'm in. Who else?
