<p>In my experience, it is good to have the tracking system, but I
often forget to close issues that I have actually fixed. I think
a good measure of engagement is how many are closed and how many
are assigned as opposed to being "NEW" and untouched. <br>

<p>It might be cool if these metrics could be turned into an
"engagement index" which could be comparable with the Firefox /
Thunderbird Bugzilla or other Addons.<br>
</p>
<p>In any case, Bugzilla is an invaluable tool for managing bugs,
email alone (or reacting to AMO reviews) is not adequate if you
have to manage large numbers of users. What I like about
Bugzilla is that is complex enough to do what I need without
being completely oblique to the user. I don't like github
issues, as it hides too much valuable information.</p>
<p>I just wish it was easier to set up / clone Bugzilla and remove
it from mozdev.org which hasn't got a valid SSL certificate for
too long. If Mozilla could host one and offer import facilities
for existing Bugzilla databases that would be ideal. It might
also bee a good idea to offer a dedicated Bugzilla for
Mail-related Addons, which could bee maintained by Addon owners
(migrate mozdev.org to a Thunderbird owned domain!)</p>
<p>Now that we have the new Thunderbird Council elected I would
like if this could be discussed (and what other incentives for
Addon Authors could be offered to stay supporting this Email
client).</p>
<p>thanks,<br>
Axel<br>
