This was posted to the devel list, and I'm cross-posting here because I think there might be some interest...
Issue followups as comments is almost a reality on drupal.org! This is a major leap in issue queue functionality, including:
- multiple file attachments per followup
- tracker integration
- ability to edit followups (unpub/delete for admins as well)
This is also an important step along the road to porting project* to Drupal 6 (which has to happen before we officially release Drupal 6 -- see http://groups.drupal.org/node/6180 for our current project* roadmap).
We're at the final stage now, and need your help testing the UI and reporting any bugs you find. To make things super easy, I've configured http://project.drupal.org with the new code, so you can simply go there to perform your testing -- this is a clone of drupal.org, so your regular username and password will work fine there.
Couple of things to keep in mind:
- We're looking for bug reports and UI tweaking suggestions. If you have a feature request or other major structural suggestion, you're about two months too late, I'm afraid... ;)
- If you have admin privileges, and you'd like to see what the site looks like from an auth user's perspective, you can login with user: test, pass: test
- If you're surfing old issues, be aware that the file links will give you a 404, b/c the files aren't on that server.
- If you find a bug, or have a UI tweaking suggestion, please first search for an existing issue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/project_issue, and file a new one if you don't find yours reported already.
If you have any questions, find me in #drupal.
Thanks, and happy testing!

My 2 Pence
I may be a total d*a, but I could not find a difference to the old surface - apart from it being muck quicker. So change has taken place behind the scenes? What I somehow miss is a possibility to rate modules right in the place of the project page. Nonwithstanding my lack of knowledge: wouln't that be the place to do it?
