Righto, I could do some of that. Coincidentally I've been taking a casual
rummage around it in the past few days. One suggestion, one question:
Given the limited (two-level) hierarchy in there, it might be a bit less
cluttered to add a "cygwin-apps" product, and create components underneath
that for the individual packages, rather than adding them all into the main
cygwin product; that would also mirror the cygwin-apps/cygwin-developers
distinction in the lists.
Is there any way to completely delete a bug and all traces of it from the db
*without* mailing the original poster (and preferably less drastic thatn using
a command-line SQL client on src)? It would be nice to delete #5249, #5319,
#5353, #5354 and #5629 without sending my email address to the spammer who
entered them...
cheers,
