Hi Hans,

As a new contributor I have also been wondering about that and I found the notes of the 2023 contributor summit very interesting in this regard:

There is a section on "Project management practices" which touches on this topic, with the idea of using a bug tracker being raised for instance. So you are not the only one thinking about it at least.

For what it's worth, I have written up a small report about my contribution experience (which covers project management practices):

Best,

Antonin
