Many patches(Fedora, debian) applied in one revision at start of
project, sorry. Many own patches is relative to previous patches.

Is it possible to migrate? Gm... Nothing is impossible :) But this will
require much effort and time.

May be this good solution.

BTW, Many people do not know English, but use mc. I would like to
consider a system that allows such people to participate in the
improvement project.

For example, to establish national sub-projects (bugtrackers), of which
bugreports translated and transferred to the main (English) project by
administrators of sub-projects. Administrators do not transfer all
bugreports - duplicates, invalid bugreports, "wontfix" and etc. remain
in the sub-project. The main bugreport-system remains clean (developers
work inly with main bugtracking system).
Repository source for all subprojects one, so the fixing of bugs will be
seen in all sub-project. Administrators of subprojects will see comments
on the revision and would close corresponding bugreports. Or/and will
see status of own English bugreport and then change status of relative
bugreport in sub-project.

The scheme of multinational sub-projects are very difficult, but allowed
very large numbers of people to participate in the development, testing
and improvement project.

WBR, Slavaz.
