>  * marking it 'invalid' so it will magically go away isn't helpful for
anyone

it's not marked "invalid", it's marked "incomplete" as "needs extra
infos, we can't do a lot without that"

>  * suggesting that I should log out of my currently running
environment, and run valgrind on my system for the next 2 weeks because
you find that unreasonable to do yourself is somewhat rude

assuming that others are lazy is somewhat rude, did you consider that
maybe it's specific to your setups or that others don't get the issue
and can't collect the infos from your system?

>  * marking a memory leak of 420M over 3 weeks as 'low' is troubling.

well as said before some leaks got fixed since you opened your bug
report so the number is likely to be lower, few users let their system
run over 3 weeks without reboot (we usually get kernel updates that
require a reboot at least once a month), and it's easy to "workaround"
(the panel service is only a standalone service that can be restarted
without closing your session or anything)

> You probably will get your desired result of making this bug go away,
as I'm not likely to run my desktop under valgrind for a extended period
of time.

did you read the code of conduct recently? what happened to assuming
that people mean well?

> My currently running environment has unity-panel-service up for ~ 10
days and it has a footprint of 42M (per top) at the moment. I believe
that likely there is still a leak shown there.

what number are we talking about in top? res? shr? yeah, it seems to
leak 1mb a day, it's not perfect but it's barely a rc bug, knowing that
it could well be that you use a non default indicator (do you run
multiload, weather, or any indicator not installed by default?)
