Guys, can we please give the volunteers who are going around uploading
logs time to do their jobs before we go closing bugs as invalid?  The
logs are going to get attached.  If somebody is in a mad rush to
actually resolve the bug (heaven forbid), then just click on the link.

Per the Council meeting:

"The council recommends that bugs from any developer-run tinderbox not
be marked invalid based on whether the logs are attached or pointed to
by a permanent URL.  The council also encourages efforts to automate
the attachment of tinderbox logs to improve the quality of the bugzilla
record."

Aye: blueness, dberkholz, dilfridge, creffet proxy for radhermit,
rich0, ulm, williamh

Anybody closing these bugs is going against council recommendation,
and we appreciate the efforts of mjo to improve our bug records.
Let's not go creating work for ourselves by interfering with efforts
to document bugs, and run a tinderbox.  I appreciate that the bug
wranglers add a GREAT deal of value to our bug reports in general, but
honestly I think they would do better to just let the scripts do their
jobs here.

In the interests of not micromanaging everybody and treating people
like children we're trying to avoid having a list of 50,000 policies
and rules everybody has to read and follow.  With efforts to
automatically upload logs, this SHOULD be a moot issue.

I'm sure this is all the work of well-intentioned individuals who just
didn't hear the news.  It probably wouldn't have hurt for me to post
the Council summary on the list.

Can we put this to rest already?
