Hi Jaap,

The issue tracker at github let's you label tickets as amongst others 
bug, enhancement, question, etc. You can also add your own labels, e.g., 
to separate between concrete actionable feature requests and ideas / 
outlines that are not yet actionable. These should be sufficient to 
separate feature requests and bug reports. The key to make this work 
(independent on the tool) lies i.m.h.o. in having one or more persons 
that monitor all issues, and assign the appropriate label (or re-assign 
if the issue reporter applied the wrong label).  I guess the most 
obvious persons would be the participating developers, as these would 
also know to whom to assign tasks, but others could step in as well (I 
for one wouldn't mind helping in this respect).

Cheers,

Paulo
