I've added a note about this to the wiki. How would we do that?

In an ideal world, the Launchpad code base would have an abstract API for a bug tracker with an implementation for each kind of tracker that we support, and one of those methods would be 'reportBug'. Well, maybe that's not the _ideal_ ideal world, but it's my ideal world. I have no idea how close we are to that. I don't think it would be a good idea to special case such auto-pushing just for this. > It would also lead to gardening > problems on LP too. > Really?

My hunch is that for many such PPAs, there won't be all that many bugs filed, so it won't be a problem. For certain PPAs, there will be a massive flood. In those cases, the Flooded need to be able to: - identify the source - contact the owner of the source and ask them to switch off the hose - have an obvious court of appeal if the owner of the source won't do that Likewise, the Flooder needs to actually have a viable alternative to sending bugs to the Flooded. "Viable alternative" is a bit too abstract though -- can you help me make it more concrete? jml -- ubuntu-distributed-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel
