Please Use Dates in Bugs.txt

Please Use Dates in Bugs.txt

[luke]

A note to the developers:

I would like to request that the Bugs.txt file be equiped with dates for 
each entry.

There is, for example, a note which says "The DECTalk Express driver is 
not finding the synth with the git".  There is no info on who inserted 
this entry, or when it was inserted.  It is not necessarily true, either, 
unless it applies to the note above it from Gene, which also has no date.

Please consider making this change.

Regards,

Luke

You can have this information by using git annotate Bugs.txt

True, but if it gets distributed in a tarball or a package, that will not 
be a possibility.

Why not? Just pipe the output of git annotate into a new Bugs.txt, and
include that in the package, instead of what's in the git tree itself.
