This worked really well in the past - I hope you decide to continue this great work. I have two suggestions: 1. Put out a call for updated blacklist requests. This will help avoid (a) whinging from the vocal minority who are terribly offended by this sort of thing, and (b) unnecessary requests for sets of packages that are managed in bulk eg. certain kde and qt categories 2. Please update the bug filing script to use the new bugzilla components and package list fields - these are now essential to getting prompt service from arch teams
