As far as I know people in that project are no different from people out of that project; you could start a similar project, or something totally different but that doesn't give you extra authority or permissions. If such thing has been written down for the bug wranglers project then I would like to see; but until then, this is merely an unreferenced contradiction and not an an actual counter argument.

By those lists mail clients aren't necessarily meant; there is https://bugs.gentoo.org/bots.html as well as the option to send whine mails, which aren't necessarily as easy as to process as what you have on mind. Especially not since no proper package atoms are used as well as it isn't fool proof to decide whether a part of a sentence is a package atom or not; when you're dealing with error output from compiler and what not, you can't simply assume */* syntax to suffice. > On 08/07/2013 11:04 AM, Andreas K.

Yes and no, how does my mail client know the border line between an useful and an useless change; while NLP goes some way, it isn't fool proof and it will be a problem for everyone. It's not a good solution. > Seems people are more interested in bikesheddings threads than those > that point out problems no one has addressed in years. Agreed, we could use and force some more constructiveness; until then, we will need to be selective in what we read, respond and ignore. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
