Somewhat, yes - it is a formalization. But it also helps some of us who don't spend enough time in the tracker to know *where* to move things. Ideally, this also helps us identify gaps in "personnel" coverage so we can: 1> Find someone who loves it enough to maintain it 2> jettison it into space if needed (I kid... sorta!) So yeah, it's a formalization + a data mining operation, and hopefully, a resource to the community to help identify people who should be added to bugs so poor Georg doesn't have to reassign everything. jesse _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list stdlib-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig
