When I open or CC on a bug that then gets fixed, I often feel like adding a thanks to the bug. However, while it may be polite in other circumstances, in this case it could be viewed as bug spam, so I've hesitated.
I reviewed the bug reporting guidelines a month or so ago and didn't see anything either way on it there, so I'm wondering, what's the general opinion? Do you guys appreciate thanks (and confirmation the fix worked at the same time, even when it's fairly obvious it should), or would you rather not get the spam? If there's a consensus reached, perhaps it should be added to the bug reporting guidelines as well. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has wondered about this. What I've done occasionally so far is this. Gentoo tends to leave the bug state in resolved/fixed. When I can confirm it, I'll close the bug, with an appropriate note of confirmation and thanks. Does that work or is it still too bug-spammy? Again, if there's a reasonable consensus, it'd be nice to have it mentioned one way or the other in the bug reporting guidelines. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
