While we're at this topic; I could use a duplicate finder for bug wrangling to spare other devs from coming across the same bug again, also a build log parser that only show the relevant bits that matter so I don't have to waste time grepping for keywords that appear in file names as well, not to forget about compressed build logs, and for assigning bugs an integrated herds.xml lookup would be pretty useful... Using these tools I could process bugs in half the time; and those are mostly just tools on the bug wrangling side, the dev and ebuild side could also use some more tools. If nobody wrote tools, we wouldn't have Bugzilla, Mailing List Daemons and Portage; back in the old days... Also, your response is quite funny if you consider his sole two bugs are one low priority bug that's 3 years old and has been reassigned a few times because it's not worth fixing (aka "not an actual problem"), the other one is actually for a tool called "recruiting.gentoo.org". I'd rather see this dev continue developing than wasting time on bugs, this reminds me that I should do some short term development myself instead of wasting a lot of time long term; even if I don't end up benefiting of the cost, any person that follows my footsteps will.
