Even if you are the maintainer, it's far from unheard of that when someone finds their favorite package has been masked they pop up and offer to take it off your hands. That's besides the point though. My mail was more concerning packages that don't have a dedicated maintainer caring for them. I should have been more clear about that. Anyways, the goal here is to keep bugs from getting lost. As long as there's some mechanism in place to prevent that from happening it shouldn't matter how its implemented. I don't really get why some ppl can't stand having open bugs, but hey. ;) -- dirtyepic salesman said this vacuum's guaranteed gentoo org it could suck an ancient virus from the sea 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
