The bug to track permissions is here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236218 Ask the developer who is proxying for you to please file a bug to devrel, and they will update that tracking page when they grant you editbugs privileges.

I've wondered before about giving privileges based on the summary line, but I haven't given it much thought beyond that. I think that would probably be more useful than proxy herds, because 'herds' are just actually mail aliases with user accounts in Bugzilla. > Some sort of "bugzilla quiz" which needs to be taken by the maintainer > might be useful in both cases. +1 on that idea too. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : [email protected] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
