It may simplify initial testing to have modules for picpaste.com and paste.debian.net but its still up for debate if these will be used in the long-term or if the Tracker will store this data or only metadata pointing to various reports, bugs, forum threads, mailing-list threads, chat logs, etc. that belong to a particular issue.
