Could we get a bug tracker and a roadmap?

It would be quite useful if there was a bug tracker (such as Bugzilla) for Prime95 on the GIMPS website. One reason why a new stable version of Prime95 hasn't been released in over three years is that George has to fix all the major bugs first. If there was a bug tracker, it would help him locate the bugs much faster. Another side benefit is that there won't be so many duplicate bug reports posted on the forums.

A roadmap would be pretty helpful as well. It would let users know when to expect new versions of Prime95 and what new features they would contain.

Please take these ideas into consideration. Thanks.

About a year ago we had a poll about this tool:

It seems like a very complicated solution. And maybe George likes coding the way he does now?

But this option exists should it be needed.
