Well... Actually I think the mailing list works pretty well.

And the ticketing system would only be useful to use as a shared TODO list.

Let me explain my idea with an example:

An issue is discussed, a bug is acknowledged and a proposed solution is discussed, this all happen in the mailing list, like it always has.

Someone in the "git management" (the one that usually choose how git should evolve) open a ticket, copy the relevant part of the mailing list (or link to the discussion in the archive) and (optionally) place the bug / feature / enhancement into a roadmap / milestone

If the issue is not assigned anyone can see it and come by in the email with a patch proposal.

This is just an idea, I can't propose myself to such a job, I wouldn't be able to provide the appropriate support to it.

I see, I can understand why, it's hard to just find the time to read all the messages in this mailing list.
