OTOH most of these bug have been idling a long time and the reporter will get
it via email (you have to assume he is not one of us checking bz daily).
A very short and strict message might thus be easily taken as offense ("first
you do nothing for 6 months and then you threaten to close this with one casual
sentence") -- I like the cautious wording by Joel, personally -- it helps
someone who is not a daily contributor(*) to get some context and makes clear
its
nothing personal or done out of disrespect.
Again: You have to think of the message as an email, not as a bugzilla comment,
because thats how the receiver sees it.
Best,
Bjoern
(*) if he were, his bug wouldnt be struck in NEEDINFO for 6 month ;)
