Seconded...I find it annoying, anyhow! I recall a recent thread on this - I think the general response was something like "great idea, go ahead and do it..." ;-) I know this kind of response in OS development. The problem is to make suggestions reasonable enough that someone greps the issue and starts implementing ;-). And no, I will not do it because I are busy caring about my Debian packages ;-).
Perhaps a simpler place to start than a whole Debian-style BTS is a 'dead or alive' status flag on listed products (and an obvious link to a list of products at zope.org...). Perhaps it wouldn't be so hard to implement a BTS because it is just Open Source (as well as the Mozilla BTS IRC).
Kind regards Andreas.
