About:
GNATS is a portable incident/bug report/help request-tracking system which runs on UNIX-like operating systems. It easily handles thousands of problem reports, has been in wide use since the early 90s, and can do most of its operations over e-mail. Several front end interfaces exist, including command line, emacs, and Tcl/Tk interfaces. There are also a number of Web (CGI) interfaces written in scripting languages like Perl and Python.

[»] New GNATS maintainer
by Yngve Svendsen - Oct 18th 2002 06:34:50

Andrew Gray is the new maintainer of GNATS. Here is Andrew's posting to the help-gnats mailing list:

Following Milan's decision to step down as GNATS maintainer, I volunteered and have been appointed GNATS maintainer by RMS.

My immediate plans are to go through outstanding bug reports and then produce a second 4.0 beta release. Other than a couple of patches I have not worked on GNATS development before now, so it will take me a little while to get "up to speed".

[»] GNATS 4.0 beta 2 approaching
by Yngve Svendsen - Oct 15th 2002 04:14:27

Even though we lost our primary maintainer of GNATS (someone willing to take over?), we are working hard on resolving bug reports and applying submitted patches. A qualified guess puts a beta 2 around mid-November.
