I'll be brutally honest: Being accused of being a troll is *not* a great way to convince Debian users who want to contribute to and help Debian to spend their free time helping maintainers fix the bugs reported to the BTS. I also suspect many users agree with me, but are afraid to say so for fear of being accused of being a troll. Best regards, Chuck
