I think you are confusing two (or more) completely different things.

All those are independent third party sites created by individuals and 
are not directly related to core site.

What we were talking about in the EWG meeting was adding a "bug" 
reporting system to the main site that records things in the main 
database and is integrated with the API etc.

It is not directly related to any of the sites you mention.
