Last I spoke with Michael (added to CC), the plan was to assign these to a default "Yocto Janitor" id. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to set this up for automatic assignment like we do for "component owner", as Janitor bugs are currently identified by severity. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
