Great, so now we have 4 ways (and counting) to get 4 answers to this question that hopefully will be mostly the same. My point is more that it makes more sense for one person to just file the bugs or send out the list so that maintainers can go fix their packages, as opposed to playing a game where every developer in Gentoo independently engineers a solution to the same problem. If some maintainers decide not to play the game, or play it and make a mistake, then it ends up being the python team or the users who lose. If a maintainer ignores a blocker bug for too long nobody is going to shed a tear over some treecleaning. Spending a bit more time on communication might save a lot more time in cleanup. -- Rich
