I have no significant experience with either.  I've done some bug
management in vpnc using Launchpad and found it easy enough to use.  I
don't think I've ever done anything using alioth, except possibly look
at some bug reports that I found via Google.

I guess personally, it'd be easier for me to get started if we used
Launchpad.  That said, I don't know how much I'm going to be
contributing, so that's not necessarily a good reason!

On the other hand, save for linux-distros, which is clearly aiming to
get Eclipse easily packaged for all variants of GNU/Linux, Debian is
about as upstream as we can get -- it's top of the line for all those
Debian derivatives, obviously -- and I have a gut feeling we should use
its tools.  It just "smells" right.

That's my £0.02 worth anyway.
