Which is, apparently, requires more administration than the project can
currently provide. It should not be that difficult for Amos or other
developers to monitor bugs...

I may be missing something(*), but I think it would be better if
squid-dev was subscribed to bugzilla OR squid-bugs allowed folks to add
and remove themselves (but not post). The former will make discussing
bugs easier, but will move discussion away from bug reports unless there
is some glue to back-post from squid-dev to bugzilla (which has its own
problems). A read-only public list may be a better alternative.

Cheers,

Alex.
P.S. (*) I do not think we need this "invitation only" complexity to
hide security-related bug reports (there should be a different mechanism
for that).
