toUpper Bug?

[Alastair David Reid]

Unfortunately, I think there's only one person whose _part time_ job
is to maintain Hugs - and that person was on vacation in the last few
weeks.  [Also, I think the money funding Hugs maintenance is due to
run out soon.]  The rest is all up to individual volunteers and
companies like Galois Connections (who are sending a steady trickle of
bugfixes into both Hugs and GHC).

Maybe we need someone to setup a suitable bugtracking system?  

GHC's use of sourceforge looks ok - except that half their bug reports
still seem to arrive as mail messages instead of as properly filled in
bug report forms.

Here at Utah, my project uses gnat but I got the impression that
setting it up was a bit time consuming since its default configuration
was for a different style of organisation from ours.
