I don't think we should mark bugs resolved if the code is still in WebKit, the bug is not fixed, and we'd accept a fix. If we're looking for volunteers to hack on particular areas, I think a wiki page seeking volunteers is likely more effective.

Call it however you like, it was just an example (appropriate candidate might also be "NeedsPeceAndLove"); the idea is to track orphan features that might be appealing to contributors seeking opportunities and to give them at least some advantage in taking over. > Also, we can always file a new bug to re-implement the feature when time > comes. What would be the rationale in this case? This doesn't seem very convenient to me: tracking past work would save time and work to new contributors. ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
