Sorry, this is not how it goes. We won't be willing
to adopt anything blindly. There is a German saying
applying here:
'Never buy a cat in the bag!'
1. First there should be a proposal
2. Secondly there should be a test implementation
as proof of concept we can work with and see
how well it goes.
4. Thirdly this should be evaluated
- if we think it is usable at all.
- what modifications we would like to see.
5. The modified system needs to get retested and reevaluated.
6. This is the earliest stage we can talk about a more or
less formal policy.
Up to now it is not even clear who should be able to
submit to this bug tracking system:
Should it be internal only?
Should only projects like GNOME, KDE etc and
distributions like RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake be able to
submit bugs?
Or should it be open to the general public?
