I can agree with keyword but closing them because of lacking motivation or skills isn't justified.. Problem doesn't go away by making them invisible. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Just as Marius already said, I usually also don't participate in the "goodbye and thanks for all the fish"-threads - but this one is kinda special. Bryan is one of the few non-German Gentoo Developers I met several times and we had much fun every time - at least this was my impression. I was already looking forward for meeting you again at the UK Meeting in July ... so ... yeah ... I'm really sad to see you go :( For whatever you're doing next I'd wish you as much luck and fun as I can. Thanks for your contributions and being an important part of Gentoo in the past few years!

I think a keyword might be more useful, as at least with my bugs, I'd like to keep them open myself - if the user doesn't provide a patch, it's still something that I'd get around to doing eventually.

I usually don't participate in all the welcome/goodbye threads, but you're one of the few people I'm really sad to see leaving. But with the constant mobbing going on I can certainly understand the decision. Hope to see you back someday.

[gentoo-dev] Bye Gentoo!
It's with a bit of sadness but also a bit of relief that I'm finally retiring from Gentoo. I've been a Gentoo developer for nearly 4 years now and I like to at least pretend that I've made some important contributions to Gentoo during that time. I've had a lot of fun but my frustrations have grown these past several months and I've been entertaining the idea about retiring from Gentoo for probably 6 months now. The past couple months the desire to leave Gentoo have become much stronger and I think it's finally time for me and Gentoo to go our separate ways. I think I've put my "fingerprint" on Gentoo in quite a few important ways but lately I've come to the realization that I probably can't do any more for Gentoo. No matter how hard I try fighting for what I feel is right we seem to end up with petty fights, flamewars or what I consider even worse - people simply ignore what I'm working hard towards. So I think it's high time that I leave the project and start looking for another project where I can contribute something important and not just try to keep afloat in a project that I seem to be at odds with to an ever increasing degree. I'll try to reach all the projects I'm leaving over the next few days and see if I can pass on my work in a reasonable manner. I probably won't be around much on irc but if you really need to contact me you can do so at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good luck to all of you and may Gentoo development be as much fun for you as it used to be for me.

[gentoo-dev] RFC: new bugzilla resolution: NEEDPATCH
I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows a number of (enhancement) bugs that are fixable, but the assignee doesn't have the motivation to come up with a solution, but would look at and eventually include a user-submitted patch for it. Currently those would either be left open forever or closed as WONTFIX which isn't compeltely accurate. Therefore I propose a new bugzilla resolution NEEDPATCH so we're not stuck with tons of open bugs that might never be closed (or get closed with a somewhat incorrect resolution). It might also give people who want to help a simpler target instead of browsing through all open bugs and trying to find one where a user can work on. Opinions?
