That's why new bugs are assigned only once a month, though. Players will have one month to get their bugs fixed, and doing it faster will not help their score. A hasty NMU will just increase the chance of the bug being reopened (or otherwise contested), which is bad for their score. (Hmm, I wonder if they system should treat delayed NMUs the same way it treats pending tags, to avoid hasty uploads on the 31st.) Richard Braakman
