Hi, as discussed during DebConf13, here is my draft message for mass-closing the debian-x bugs. In case you have any comments/objections, please let me know:
Hello, we are closing this bug report as part of an automated mass bug-closing. There are currently well over 1000 bugs open for debian-x, and the team is not big enough to handle such a big number of bugs. In 1000 bugs, it is impossible to see the actually relevant bugs, and nobody can use the Bug Tracking System anymore. Many of these bugs are caused by driver issues or broken hardware, and it’s better to report these upstream directly. In the future, such bugs will be closed quickly with a reference to the upstream bug tracker. In case this bug report in particular is still useful, relevant, reproducible and does not affect upstream, but only Debian, feel free to re-open it. Thanks for understanding, The Debian X Strike Force -- Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
