Touché - however no-one's suggesting that there shouldn't be a better communication mechanism between users & developers. Some projects have mailing lists and fora (some of which are hosted on garage, but that's not important right now), for things like themes such overheads are probably overkill (but there'll come a time when a theme author wishes he had version control).

If ITT can provide some kind of automated service for that, all's the better. As long as it doesn't mean as an application developer: 1) duplicating content I've already put in the de facto place, 2) following disparate threads and comments elsewhere when my project might have somewhere more specific.

If we're talking about optional developer tooling, that's great - but that's not what Reggie originally announced.
