Current issue ids like Issue2550861 are too long. Is there a way to get 
ids lower than that? Python tracker seemed to survive this somehow.

Issue ids were taken over from Sourceforge -- SF ticket numbers were
kept when importing to roundup.

Do you see problems with the long ticket numbers?
I think I remember that inline issue numbers don't work (no hyperlink)
but I'm not sure if this is a problem with the long IDs.

I think keeping the issue numbers from sourceforge is good and I
don't think we want to renumber them. At this point it would break in
message links and things.

While using the unused numbers would be nice, implicitly the numbers
are expected to match date of creation order, so using lower id's would
mess that up. Again I don't think that's desirable.

I think our limited time is better spent improving the tracker workflow
and roundup and changing/reusing issue numbers doesn't seem to improve
anything.

I'll close this out won't fix in a couple of weeks unless there is an
objection.

Hello John,

I share your point of view and your reasoning in msg5801.
So I'm +1 on closing with "wont fix".

Best regards, Peter.

+1 for closing as won't-fix.
