might want to cut out the editorialing. there's very good reasons for it: - there's a games component that users have historically rarely used incorrectly (e.g. filing non-games related bugs under it, and filing games bugs under something else) - historically there have been very few people outside of the games herd that maintained games packages, and even then, the bug should be assigned to games and the maintainers cc-ed. as i already said, we do this for other components/teams as well, so the handling of games bugs is not unique, both historically and today. i don't think changing the behavior makes sense when the majority still should be assigned to games@. if you wanted to address a real problem, then the bug i referenced would help for all packages/herds: http://bugs.gentoo.org/550158 -mike
