I can solve that, but I'm confused about another thing, but first things
first.

You're referring to the example I was giving why such a tracker is
useful. I asked about the existence of such a tracker and you answered
my question - thanks!

Doesn't have Ubuntu have a server laying around where such a tracker
could be hosted? It's possible to start a project on launchpad.net as
well, right?!?

Now about my confusion: Are there two wikis, then? I see the difference
in the domain, but don't quite understand anything more. Can you explain
or redirect, please?

Understandable and sounds much better :)
