Ok, I can partially agree with that. I still think WebUI is used (in
preference to other interfaces) for tasks like issue reporting or, with
GitHub, when giving inline code comments.

Yes, I see your point.

Yes, for simple packages, git for SCM, email for issue reporting will
probably be enough. But sometimes downstream packaging is more involved
(e.g. a lot of dependencies, lots of patches on top of upstream
sources, ...) and it could use some issue tracking. Reviewing and
commenting on the SPEC files/patches would also be very convenient.

Yes, agreed, it is not enough to vote on something but rather commit to
doing it yourself or being realistic on what can be done with the
available human (and machine) resources.
