Here are the problems I'd like to solve:

1. "Was this issue fixed in a Postgres update?  Which one?"

2. Not losing track of minor bugs.

3. Having a better way to track bugs which require multi-part solutions
(e.g. multixact).

4. Having a place for downstream projects/packagers to report bugs.

5. Not answering this question ever again: "Why doesn't your project
have a bug tracker?"

Note that all of the above requires a bug *tracker*, that is, a tool
which tracks the bug activity which was happening anyway, just makes it
more visible.  Rather than an Issue Resolution System, which would be
intended to remake our workflow.
