Well, I don't see as impossible to use an "Extras" product in
bugs.maemo.org clearly identified as third party applications if the
extras repository ends up being managed efficiently at a community
level.

I see the risks and concerns, but also the advantages. Opening yet
another bug tracking tool is something we should avoid imo.

The "good" thing is that we don't need to discuss this further now:
first we need to agree on a plan for extras.
