I notice that on many beta lists, feature requests come in over and over again during the life of the list. Archives help and it's nice to have a pulse on the most requested features, but it's also nice to know what's up and coming -- and what's already been requested.
Yes, I'll most likely create a request tracker in not so long. I know ready-to-use packages exist, but I really do not like any of these, and it's far to much work for me to maintain these (I don't want to go to a web-page to administrate my stuff) and I don't think they generally make a very good job at providing a transparent list of requests (with status) to other users.
So I'm thinking something super simple where the user just fills out a summary and description and I'll do a reject/accept on the item when I feel like it. No need to require users to create accounts etc.
Then we can always let it evolve from there, like allow other users to add comments/votes, I may add an ETA (in form of a version number, but I'll generally like to avoid that) etc. -- and maybe I'll end up with Bugzilla, but let's pray I don't ;)
