Ah, I thought my ~300 milestones was pushing it. :)

I see. Milestones still have no custom fields. Did you ever send your customizations upstream?

No, unfortunately it was nowhere near good enough for that, it was just massacred to solve the problem.. Plus it was built on probably 20 patches from trac-hacks in the first place.

Very hard to find the time to upstream something like that when you are on a limited budget in the first place..

So "It seems not that many people have enough time and long-term interest in contributing significant improvements to such projects" wasn't that wrong. ;)
