No DRI developer expressed his interest or opposition, probably because
there isn't opposition, or simply no interest. In either case I see no
reasons why not proceed, so I'll open a bug to address this. I'll ask
that [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the same addressed used on SF BT
system) is set as the default owner for DRI bugs.

Also, what's the general mailing list one can subscribe to receive
notifications everytime a bug is open?
