Hi D
There is a bug listed in the Bugzilla tracking tool that
affected me the other day,
[15526](https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15526). It's
not a big problem, just an unexpected issue and seems easy to
fix... by someone familiar with Phobos.
What is the etiquette around Bugzilla usage in the community?
Would it be appropriate or inappropriate to get an account on
issues.dlang.org just to post a comment on a bug stating that
it affect my code.
I haven't done so because I'm presuming you want to keep the
issue tracker clean and not let the peanut gallery run amok,
thus comments that don't directly affect a patch are
inappropriate. Is that true?
One way to bring attention to a specific issue is to post about
it here as you have done. Then you'll get more eyeballs on it and
someone might potentially step up and fix it. Another is to ping
Razvan Nitu or Dennis Korpel, as they are our pull request and
issue managers. Let them know an issue is important to you and
they'll put it on their TODO list. Or you can ping me and I'll
let them know.
