--- Comment #10 from Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #9) > It is user-hostile and unprofessional to mass-close bugs, even very old > bugs, without making any attempt to reproduce the problem first. > http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html I wasn't a big fan of it either (despite proposing it and doing it). But look at it from the project's standpoint -- volunteer based (and not exactly a big team), high code churn rate (esp 1-2 years ago), high hardware death(/replacement) rate, large variety of hardware, 400+ bugs deep, of which 200 are from more than 2 years without an update. So I didn't see a better way of getting a handle on the situation. Of the 200+ bugs I closed, about 10 have gotten follow-up comments of any sort (either that it's been fixed/hardware gone/still a problem). I'm individually pinging newer bugs, and I'm not having a great response rate either (but better). Besides, you always have the option of re-opening the same bug and providing updated information. As a bug filer, I think it's reasonable to expect you to be the main tester (at least with nouveau). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
