I was completely unaware of this. I also used to report bugs via emacs'
report-emacs-bug fascility.
Moreover, I am building emacs from `master' everyday and assuming
everything is latest on this. If Org is a different beast then probably
we should do two things:
1. Remove Org from built-in packages and distribute only via ELPA
2. And have a completely separate infrastructure for development,
mailing-lists, bug reports. This we already have. But we should follow
convention so that it is easier for user to report-org-bugs.

I don't know how the tracking works if bugs are reported in a mailing
list.

I am trying to use `use-package' for package management via the init
file. And when I do (use-package org :ensure t) it doesn't install the
latest. It uses the builtin package only. Is this a bug in emacs,
use-package or elpa?
