Hi Andreas, my issue is that on my DDPO page (https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=plessy), BWA shows up with one bug (this one), which attracts my attention for nothing. The Mayhem project reported tons of bugs, and I think that it is fair to close those for which there is no sign that they will be fixed. I would have of course forwarded this bug to upstream's bug tracker, alas it does not have one. I think that we have enough low-hanging fruits that are more intersting to give to newcomers. As a BWA user, I think that if we fix that bug, the probability that this will help anybody on Earth is very low. Note that there are other packages where I have reported the Mayhem bugs and they were promply fixed. I think that now is the time to let some of the leftovers go out of our radar. I would like to keep the DDPO page useable as a TODO list, with the goal of having zero bugs in most packages.
