It would be nice but bugzilla is a lot of work (installing and
customization) and I also don't know other systems. To be honest
freeciv was the first time I used jitterbug.

Yes.

First show us the script.

bugs_client_windows

We should definitely have folders for the different client types. They
serve as a way to default assign the bugs to persons since we don't
have this feature in jitterbug.

"data" for rulesets, tilesets and so on is worth the folder. IMHO also
build-system should be created. There my be now not be many issues
open for build-system but all the gettext bugs would be there.
