I think maybe it is a good idea you just put the link after your
sentence and not use a footer. I think this is easier in the
context of mailing list post.

Good.

No problem. It is just a nice to have feature but not essential.

I thought of doing this but it seems not easy to keep the comments.
I think it is okay we can still refer to libusb.org tickets for now. The
only problem is the performance of libusb.org due to the Trac git
plug-in issue. I actually tried to disable the git plug-in (I am the
other active Trac admin there along with Peter)  and the
performance problem went away but Peter did not agree to do
that as he says that git integration is essential for the Trac system.

All good. I should be able to test the RC over the weekend.
