If you have some spare time, please help assign/sort a few bugs. To view the bug queue, click here: http://bit.ly/m8PQS5 Thanks! Is there something non-devs could do? Would it be OK to just CC HERD mail from epkginfo (as I am not allowed to reassign). Because I at least once a day browse the bug database and could at least CC some of the new bugs. A few years before I became I dev, I did a short stint as a bug-wrangler -- iirc all you need to do is train yourself via the bug-wrangling guide and find someone to vouch for you in order to obtain write-access to bugzilla. I don't know who you would talk to about this right now (NP-Hardass maybe??) but I'm sure that we could use the help, if you wanted to lend a hand. Ian, thx for your answer! I thought about it if I really want to become a DEV, and I still don't know. I think I will just go and contact bug-wranglers and look what's happending ;) It just hurts to see those daily messages about un-assigned bugs :/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlUxSJgACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCQJwD9HCxFXXsnUXR5WU3dHBsvO93Z v7u2nzotdNAREAOBRekBAKRpu8xdSfxeE5GIBF0KOEGBqNMZ3Mtl2jjluN7EQZfs =qR8R -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I'd love to get an actual team set up so we can encourage users to help us get the information we need in bugs so it is less work for us. Several other distributions have such projects, so we have something we can use as a template. Getting a team is an excellent idea. Jakub is one of those folks that turn a boring yet essential activity into a craft (with the best possible meaning of the word craft). We all know which devs/herds bugs should be assigned to, we all know most bugs aren't complete if emerge --info is not provided, that sort of things. But Real Bug Masters (tm) know all the dupes, know all the current problems in our various trees and arches, and act as bug-spam filters for the herds. So while we can and do *survive* without Jakub, his role is invaluable and having a proper team can only help us in the long term. That requires non-technical things (*cough* follow-up) like a sense of teamwork, and not looking down on people who don't have cvs commit access. FWIW, Jakub never had CVS commit access, and specifically refused it. He's only ever worked with Bugzilla and IRC (to ping, poke or harass devs :) ) Cheers Rémi -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Would it be possible to add the tree categories as products and the packages as components thereof? That would significantly increase the odds of correct assignment, because we could save the per-package assignees in the database. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
