## Introduction The Debian project has seen an internal dispute after a senior maintainer criticized the distribution’s bug tracking system as outdated and increasingly unworkable for modern software development. The criticism focuses on the lack of a graphical user interface, which makes it difficult to manage bugs. The maintainer argued that the system has become increasingly complex and difficult to use, making it hard for developers to manage bugs and resolve them effectively. They also criticized the absence of an online collaboration platform, which makes it difficult for developers to communicate with each other and share information. The Debian project responded to the criticism by saying that the system was designed to be simple and easy to use, but may need to be updated to make it more suitable for modern software development needs. ## Technical context The bug tracking system used by Debian is based on an open-source development framework that provides an online collaboration platform and a graphical user interface for managing bugs. However, the maintainer criticized the lack of advanced features such as large language models and embeddings, which could help improve bug management. ## Conclusion The criticism from the maintainer represents an opportunity for Debian to examine its bug tracking system and consider updating it to make it more suitable for modern software development needs. The Debian project must work to improve bug management and provide a collaborative online platform that is easy to use and accessible to all developers.
