That said, there is probably room for debate over the length of time we leave the bug open. Maybe a week isn't quite long enough - maybe two weeks is better. I'd like to support that suggestion. The new process is a great thing, just give us a little bit more time to respond please... :)

Pawel, while I appreciate very much what you are doing, there is one obvious problem: usually, as a maintainer, one does not file a stablereq for a single arch, but for all stable arches of a package. Are the cited advances relevant for all stable arches, for the major ones, or only for
