Now that I've tried out some other themes, contrasting colours help a bit, but the + and - are still tiny and barely visible.) > or per-issue basis, make a comment like "Following.", and you can add yourself. > That's not just observing, that's participating. This was exactly my point: one can't follow a ticket UNLESS one adds a comment. The implied threat model for spam is exaggerated. Mailing lists typically do not require GPG signing just to submit messages, and yet spam is not a major problem on small lists because restricting posting to subscribers is sufficient protection. (And when spam does get through, it's generally traced to compromised user email accounts, which would include attached GPG keys. And before anyone says “passphrase”, just remember there's a correlation between getting compromised, and either not using a passphrase, or using the account password as the passphrase.) I did not suggest migrating to a commercial provider. Yes I mentioned Github & Bitbucket, but that was in relation to a different point. Savane is not the only open source issue tracker. There has been a depressing display of ad-hominem attacks on what is supposed to be a technical mailing list. If I've made a mistake or omission, then by all means point that out, but there's no call to add commentary about my personality or motives. -Martin PS: limited visual acuity is not correlated with stupidity, but it may be correlated with frustration.
