Who said, that bugmail is ignored? Repeating myself, it may be accidently deleted by the dev or some software (hint: spam filters), it may actually even be ignored to re-use the bug later. Since i dont remember even seing a hint for the "will stable in 30 days without objection", the arch addition is even more a bad surprise for a maintainer. > > I have to agree very strongly with this sentiment.

So with a devaway setup pointing to another dev, which wont get CCed nor asked, so cannot deny it, the package would become stable too, even when it should not. ;-) -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
