I missed it. A problem seems to be that for most bugs, the filer seems to select just one component and leave the rest of it to bug description. When I searched with "Windows" component, the most recent bugs I saw was upto 1 week ago, where as a bug like http://bugs.python.org/issue8384 which is a distutils issue reported on Windows is not present, because the reporter chose to file it under "distutils" component. > > I think that setup dates from the Sourceforge days when we didn't have > keywords or the ability to add our own fields.

I don't understand why Windows and Mac should come under "Components". It is not very obvious to the reporters also. Separate question: Who is in charge of bug triaging in pydev ? This is something which I would like to help out with, if help is required :-) > > Cheers, > Nick. > > -- > Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia > --------------------------------------------------------------- > -- --Anand
