Carl, Yes, these bugs are blockers for us, but it's not a problem that any single bug is a blocker, because our team has a lot of other things to do. Any of those bugs is not such a trouble for us. The problem is that they are four already (including the one in PDE) and our team depends on all of the four bugs. That's why I didn't want to trigger some unnecessary escalation and raise the bugs priority. I just wanted to accelerate the process a little. Reviewing/committing one or two of those bugs/patches would be good for a starter. I'm sorry if I've caused any uneasiness with my mail. That was not the purpose.

Subject: Re: [wtp-dev] Bugs Stefan, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone of the WTP Hotbug policy, which can be found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/Hotbug_Policy . It is a great help to deal with a scenario like this. We would have discussed all of these bugs in our weekly call, giving them more attention. In short, the first and the third bugs should be marked with [hotbug_request], since there are no SAP committers on those projects. For the second bug, since you are a committer on Dali, you can raise the priority flag to show that it needs to be addressed. Also, one thing that surprised me is that, while you state that all of these bugs are blockers for your team, the second and third bugs have a severity of major, and the first has a severity of minor. Usually I use the information at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance to ask someone to lower their severity, but in your case, if these bugs "block development", then you might consider raising the severity to blocker. But maybe that's just my opinion.

We’ve proposed some patches, which are waiting for approval. We already have three bugs/patches in different WTP subprojects (plus one in PDE for which I’ll write a separate mail in the corresponding mailing list). It’s not that the bugs have been pending for too long, but the problem here is that all of them are blockers for our team work and since they are already four it really becomes a huge blocker. I know it was really intense during the maintenance release and as I told already the patches haven’t been pending for too long, but I (on behalf of my team) want to kindly ask you for a bit of your attention on these bugs in order to unblock our work. We would really appreciate it. The bugs I’m talking about are: Java Server Faces https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=331339 Dali https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358098 WTP server Tools https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359370 Thanks in advance!
