Consider git and Linux, which doesn't. A btts isn't a recipe for success,
and one that doesn't see frequent use is worse than having none at all.
Since Ethan seems to be away on semi-extended vacation at the moment,
I'm not sure what, if anything can be done about it right now though.

Much appreciated. I'm still not sure it's worth it though. Serious bugs
are generally fixed rather quickly. Those that are debatable ("I think
Nagios should work like this: ...") are often sent to nagios-devel@
first anyways, so duplicating the discussion in the bugtracker would
just be tedious work that no-one would do.
Feature-requests are usually gathered through the list too, and the
ones deemed cool and fun to work on often get implemented the first
rainy day
