 Please post non-development issues to debian-project next time.
 
 Or rethink whether your issue needs posting at all.

This is Jidanni you're talking to.

To make this less opaque, see for example #357095 (and pay attention
to the contents of the control message).

[Having said that, I think many of his bug reports are valuable and
that developers sometimes close bugs too quickly because of his bad
reputation for filing random bug reports that only waste people's

I've had useful reports from Dan too. He certainly seems to have
widespread interests as he has reports against a large number of
packages.

It's just rude and unnecessary to dismiss him as Stephen did.
This is a fine example of the hostility problem so many people
report Debian to have.

bet there are no senior citizen developers

Bet there are also few developers over 45 years old.
Probably 99% young, male.
Bet there is no web page with developer age demographics.
Anyway, at 45 things get fuzzy, at least for me, so I admire
those older developers.
