Hi Ivan, list,

I'm just standing at the sidelines, chiming in.
Let it be noted that I've never used pads, only looked at them a few
times. I do use GitLab pretty much the whole day through.

Devuan has a GitLab instance. Why not use its issues? With a suitable
set of priority labels and people assigning issues to themselves, the
workflow would be pretty much the same as below.

No need to send email as notifications are sent to anyone "interested".
Any comments would go into the issue itself, so the issue becomes the
"thread".

You could also create milestones, e.g. beowulf, and collect appropriate
issues by simply marking them for the right milestone.

For a central place just create a suitable project on GitLab.

Of course, if everyone's more comfortable with pads and that works for
everyone that's fine too. As long as things start moving again.

My "top" priority issues:

 1. fix the repositories so ceres' codename just works again
    # Things look quite screwed up on pkgmaster.devuan.org :-/
 2. create a working installer for beowulf
    # Waiting for this since late March, 2019.

You're welcome.

Hope this helps,
