Is this the same login as for the issue tracker or is a new one needed?

It's different. Both trackers are supposed to support OpenID logins, I believe. (However, there are somewhat frequent reports of difficulties with it; I don't know if the system is fully debugged. I think most people are OK, but making a new login is the sure path.)

I also suspect that subsections for Extension Modules would be extremely useful for our C developers, thoughts anybody?

Do you mean an entry per module?

The XEmacs Tracker (http://tracker.xemacs.org/), which also is based on Roundup, has an extensive list of add-on packages (somewhat like the stdlib). We're currently stuck in the doldrums, and it is sadly mostly unused, so I can't really comment on the utility.

I find that there are some UI issues with such long lists in Roundup. I don't want to discourage adding such information to the tracker; I think it's a good idea. But it will need attention to UI to be most useful.
