You probably haven't noticed though. - historically there have been very few people outside of the games herd that maintained games packages, and even then, the bug should be assigned to games and the maintainers cc-ed. Since the games lead is inactive, this is not even true anymore. It becomes more common to maintain games packages outside of the games herd, especially since the council does support this.

[gentoo-dev] Bugzilla config wrt games
Hi, I maintain a game (games-strategy/freeotion) aside from the games herd. When users report bugs, they choose the Games component and then bugs get auto-assigned to the games alias. This is also the recommended procedure: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Project:Games Given our games maintenance rules this seems wrong. Shouldn't games bugs be wrangled based on metadata like other bugs? I understand that changing this behaviour would create a lot of useless bugwrangling work... so maybe there is a different solution?

Comparing the two approaches: - worst case with bug-wranglers@ is that wranglers have extra work of reassigning to games@, - worst case with games@ is that a number of bugs never gets assigned to correct maintainers (and possibly solved). -- Best regards, Michał Górny pgpIihuRe7pIX.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I understand that changing this behaviour would create a lot of useless bugwrangling work... so maybe there is a different solution? not really games specific -- this applies to every component that has a default assignee. unless/until we can make bugzilla aware of specific packages that the user could select/enter so bugzilla could pull owner info out of metadata.xml directly, i think the status quo is the least crappy. relevant: http://bugs.gentoo.org/550158 -mike signature.asc Description: Digital signature
