There's no way to tell. The standing rule I've heard is that if you see something you're interested in, and it hasn't been touched in a long time, then contact the RE to see if he'd be willing to give it up. The answer is almost always "yes." That's why those fields don't get reset. It's just too easy to work around the problem, so nobody bothers fixing it. Listing bugs by time of last modification (rather than RE != NULL or dispatch/accept) might be more interesting. > > I still think, though, that the accepted/dispatched distinction is > > important, and that finding ways to encourage better use of the tools > > is a better plan. > > I have no idea how you plan to encourage people to keep information in bugster > accurate, but I wish you the best of luck :) Extremely irritating cron jobs and pointed sticks come to mind. :-/ -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
