Making an actual bug wrangling team (subproject of QA) is something
I've been toying around with in my head. I'd love to get an actual team
set up so we can encourage users to help us get the information we need
in bugs so it is less work for us. Several other distributions have
such projects, so we have something we can use as a template.
Getting a team is an excellent idea. Jakub is one of those folks that
turn a boring yet essential activity into a craft (with the best
possible meaning of the word "craft").
We all know which devs/herds bugs should be assigned to, we all know
most bugs aren't complete if emerge --info is not provided, that sort of
things. But Real Bug Masters (tm) know all the dupes, know all the
current problems in our various trees and arches, and act as bug-spam
filters for the herds.
So while we can and do *survive* without Jakub, his role is invaluable
and having a proper team can only help us in the long term.
That requires non-technical things (*cough* follow-up) like a sense of
teamwork, and not looking down on people who don't have cvs commit access.
FWIW, Jakub never had CVS commit access, and specifically refused it.
He's only ever worked with Bugzilla and IRC (to ping, poke or harass
devs :) )
Cheers
Rémi
