Go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/reports/gnome-love.cgi. You'll see the following: This report shows bugs marked with the gnome-love keyword. That keyword is used as follows: Marking a bug with this keyword means that you're willing to help someone fix the bug, or that it should be fixable by a beginner without any help. This should ONLY be set by a maintainer or people familiar with the code base, and ONLY when it looks like a project suitable for a new developer looking for a task. The report also lists who marked the bug with the gnome-love keyword, and if you are logged in you can get anyone's account name (i.e. email address) in bugzilla. The same text describing the gnome-love keyword can be found at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describekeywords.cgi. Is the gnome-love keyword being misused, or are potential contributors just unaware of this? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
