The XFCE bugs get auto-assigned to [email protected]. That's a mailing list where I'm pretty sure nobody is subscribed anymore ;-) I have a bugzilla search: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=11609241&namedcmd=bnc-team-xfce%40forge.provo.novell.com (no idea if this only works for me when logged in...) It's basically this: Resolution: --- Classification: openSUSE Status: UNCONFIRMED, NEW, CONFIRMED, IN_PROGRESS, REOPENED Assignee: [email protected] CC: [email protected] QA Contact: [email protected] So watching for this list and then adding one of the real maintainers (mostly Maurizio nowadays, but Takashi and me are also taking care), maybe after some initial triaging would really be useful and does not need developer skills. This would be IMO a really welcome task helping to remind me (at least) to look at the reported bugs. To be honest, now that Maurizio is doing lots of XFCE work, I am more often tending to other projects and had not looked at that bugzilla search for quite some time, maybe for more than 6 months. Additionally, it is not nice for us (me) letting bug reporters wait long for an initial responce. Another thing I had done regularly was checking for upstream updates for all packages available in X11:xfce repo and doing simple version updates. Again, nowadays Maurizio is taking care of this, but I guess he would not turn down a helping hand. Then something that I had totally neglected: check if the XFCE upstream has changed default configuration and our standard setup is no longer the best. Also: compare the openSUSE XFCE experience with other distribution's XFCE and check what we can learn from them, or where we can unify the efforts. I think there are some relatively low hanging fruit where starting to contribute is easy.
