The simple question is who is actually going to sort out the mess its
in?
Who is going to look after it on a continuing basis?
If there isn't ownership, nothing is going to change.
Actually I feel the real problem is that:
- people did not want to get bugs assigned to them (at least that was
what someone told me in the past)
- we're lacking a good notion of package or recipe ownership, so even
if we had someone acting as a bug manager, (s)he would have a hard
time to find out who to assign an issue to.
and of course it takes discipline to look at regular intervals in the
bug tracker to see if there are issues that affect the recipes you
feel responsible for.
A discipline that few people have and that is also easy to forget if
there is only very rarely something for you.
So it is more of a process issue.
(btw this may be something that could be picked up by the TSC).
The feeling of the TSC thus far has been "where are the active
volunteers to use BTS (bugzilla, whatever)". This far in the thread I
count one.
