So what is the reason for having a suspended state in that case it seems no different to back on the available list. -- Darren J Moffat

The reason for keeping these on the overall table was bookkeeping because I track and report data about contributions offered and what happens to them. Would it make sense to rename this part of the table? It really isn't just 'suspended'. It's more that contributors no longer have time or have disappeared or have outright retracted a request. Any of the reasons mean the particular bug is available for anyone else to pick up and work on. What can I call it that would be more helpful? Something like 'Recycled: request no longer in progress; available to be worked on'? Thanks. Bonnie

Sean. Hi Sean, When a bug is moved to 'suspended', it is by definition available to anyone to pick up. The original contributor can come back later and request a sponsor again or someone else can pick it up and request a sponsor. That said, a quick check leads me to believe that this information is perhaps not actually on the website..so let me think about how to make this more clear..suggestions welcome. Thanks. Bonnie

Tom appears to have been the "victim" of sponsoring fixes to two bugs here (this plus 6319973), for which he has sadly received no contact of late from the other side. From this, and that you have moved the status to "suspended", is there a mechanism that moves the bugs from "suspended" to "available again - no-one gave a crap last time"? Otherwise the "suspended" pool might grow and grow... Regards... Sean.

I've agreed to sponsor 6299120, but I've been unable to establish contact with Aswathy.S or Sruthi.P.Deep. I think that we should return 6299120 to the pool of available bugs. Aswathy or Sruthi if you still wish to work on this bug, please contact me. tom
