Don't get me wrong: I am not hating on useful tools! I am saying that working on tools is orthogonal to working on open bugs. > his sole two bugs Is there a rule in Gentoo that forbids a dev to fix a bug assigned to someone else? That would make absolutely no sense to me. No wonder then, that there are several bugs with no activity for months after I have committed fixed ebuilds to my overlay and mentioned that in a comment. He has become a developer so why would he not be able to take neccessary action to close bugs, even if they haven't been assigned to him? - But Peter, you say, don't you see - that would lead to more fixed bugs! Orly? How is that bad? (I'm obviously assuming that all developers (but not infra) are equally competent, since that's the model taught by recruitment.) > short term .. > long term Yes, life is tradeoff. In my experience development of tools is rather a long term thing, while a day of working on bugs is more short term. A day short, to be exact. :) If there are numerous unactionable bugs then perhaps skip them on that day, and work on shiny bulk processing tools the next day. Just my 2. But never mind. I guess I'm not supposed to participate in the bugday anyway. Good for me! :) //Peter
