I could envision particularly cranky bug wranglers closing bugs as NEEDINFO, linking the script and saying reopen when the requested output is provided. That's certainly not being particularly cooperative, but a flat "we won't implement it ourselves" isn't being particularly cooperative either, and this would be one way I could see particularly cranky bug wranglers handling it. But having the script for bug wranglers to use is certainly more user friendly, and changing the formatting to put the familiar stuff all together in one spot, preferably top of the output, would be wrangler friendly as well. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
