There is a class of bugs that are so severe that they just have to be fixed before the release is made, no matter how long it may take, but those are very rare (I can't even think of any real-life examples right now).
Certainly. But then it's probably something that hits many, which means you would probably detect them not too late, and be able to fix them before the deadline.
I guess those are the only "real blocker" bugs. Then there's the class of "not really a blocker bug, but marked as a blocker anyway" bugs. Outside the freeze periods, I generally keep patch review as the top priority of the "maintainer duties",
For my own part, I see fixing bugs as my top thing in general. Or rather, "what would a normal Ubuntu user want?" which is, quite often, to have bugs fixed :-) ...and occasionally, new features (e g the jack detection stuff).
That, or if it has something to do with machines Canonical wants to certify, that makes it float to the top of my priority list.
Maybe I'm strange, but I think a moderate amount of regular meetings might actually make contributing more fun.
Good :-) I just wanted to make sure I'm not pushing people to somewhere where they feel bad or bored. It is easy to forget that perspective at times.
