I'd just like to advertise the fact that as of Cabal-1.6 you can put a
bug-reports field in your .cabal file and it will be displayed by
hackage.

We would like to encourage all package authors to use this. It can be a
mailto: url to a maintainer or mailing list or it can be a http: url to
a bug tracker website.

(Cabal-1.6 also supports specifying darcs/git/whatever repos)
