Right. As Donnie says, it is definitely appreciated. I'd still recommend a direct email over a bug comment simply because of the reduced overhead on our mail servers. It is pretty rare that a bug only sends email to one person. Anything more than that and it's being wasteful of resources. After all, if it is your bug, both you and the developer will get the email, which means our mail system has to process two emails, rather than just the one sent from you to the dev directly. I definitely don't want to discourage anyone from giving thanks if they want. Hell, I don't even want to discourage people from doing it in bug comments. I'd just recommend that they rather do it in a direct email, instead. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
