Barry doesn't believe in having a place to keep track of this stuff because
he thinks it causes bug reports to be closed prematurely or allows bugs to
go too long without being fixed. So we discuss this stuff on petsc-dev or
petsc-maint and it sits in our inboxes until someone fixes it.

Every once in a while, Barry reiterates his contempt for bug trackers and I
reiterate my perspective that it is actually useful to users to be able to
watch bugs or feature requests without the high volume of following
petsc-dev or reading the Hg commit log to get news of action on it. ;-)


There is this list of projects.
