The open source GsDevKit issues are handled in the GsDevKit/GsDevKit 
issue tracker on GitHub (each open source GitHub project project has 
it's own issue tracker) ...

I will eventually move glassdb/glass to GsDevKit/GsDevKit, but that will 
take a fair amount of work to pull off and I've got my hands full as it 
is ...

Bugs against the base GemStone are handled by out internal bug tracker 
... the internal bug tracker is not externally visible other than 
through bugnotes. The internal tracker is only used for tracking changes 
that need to be made to the base product ... In practice, it is possible 
to patch Smalltalk bugs in the base by using code in GLASS/GsDevKit, so 
internal bugs are usually only filed for those problems in the c-code ...

Anyone is free to submit pull requests against the open source projects 
as that code is actually supposed to be maintained by the community ... 
in practice it seems that everyone waits for me to fix bugs...
