There is one potential downside with this workflow. When a bug is assigned to someone, it will discourage anyone else from looking at it. You may end up with a lot of bugs assigned that are not actively being worked on. An alternative approach would be to just subscribe developers you think may be willing and interested to take a look. That way they'll get a notification email about it, but it won't discourage anyone else from working on it that may want to in the meantime. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
