Until now we've just used a the mailing list and the know bugs file --
I think this is probably the time to start use something better.

I suggest that you report them in the SourceForge bug tracker. There
are actually a few bugs there already, since I never actually hid the
tracker.

Indeed. I think the SourceForge bug tracker is probably a good way to
go here. Do you agree? If you have any tips about categories that
should be added (I guess version might be useful to have?) then just
speak up.

I guess the bugs that are still relevant in the known bugs file should
be transferred too.

As for regression tests: It would, of course, be very useful if you
could add a snippet of code that would demonstrate the problem to the
bug report.
