I'd acctually integrate this into our new site... i.e. similar do debians
pkg tracking system they have bugs, versions, compile logs, subscribe to
this pkg and such. But we could also have rankings/comments there.
And maybe a tool to submit and to get back the info.

I think neither should be included in the grimoire

As soon as you volunter to maintain the "action" section sure we'll use
their categories. The reason being that they simply use action for anything
they can't find some better way of categorizing(same goes for any other
gaming site). I would on the other hand wan't to get rid of the action
section completly because I have yet to find a simple it's only action game.
