This has the inconvenience that :

a) Two (or more) conversations are taking place in the bug report.
b) Comments like "the fix proposed in comment #7 looks good" lose
   all meaning, unless you know what comments come from which bug
   tracker.

I suppose we can live with it, though.

Thanks for making their work more difficult, I guess.
