Easy: Nobody asked for such abilities. Though keep in mind that product creation requires full bugmaster abilities (these are needed to create the @gnome.bugs aliases). So I won't hand them out to just anyone. > > almost two weeks without an answer.

Usually product creation takes 1, perhaps 2 weeks. I never create these, only nazgul does. I don't mind an additional person creating products, but to be honest, I don't see 1 or 2 weeks as a major problem. Bugzilla products are created based of the *need* to manage the bugs. Meaning: I find it pretty early to request such a product immediately after adding a module to git.gnome.org. This said, I want to repeat that I'm fine with adding another person. > But I am trying to fulfill new product requests as quickly as possible. > They should not remain untouched longer than one or two weeks. > As every volunteer my spare time is limited and whenever I am away > for some time (like vacation etc.) requests may linger for a while. This is really appreciated.

I'm ok depending on who is suggested. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ gnome-bugsquad mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-bugsquad
