PHP's bug tracker environment was written a log time ago, it has bugs (and I'm not talking about the ones it tracks, but the ones inside its code ) and use directives that are not recommended on nowadays healthy PHP development. Following the suggestion presented at the wiki, my idea is to work on the bug tracker cleaning the bugs, making it compatible with E_STRICT mode and don't need to use register_globals neither magic_quotes. As well as implement the new features proposed.

Various updates made by Philip and Felipe
