I mean, I don't really SRU other stuff I guess. Whether or not the bug reporter is still around is basically irrelevant as we independently agreed that the bug needs fixing. That's different from sponsoring an SRU, where I fully expect the sponsoree to step up to verify the fix if needed (which might often be the reporter). > > - Basically everyone sets their tasks to "In Progress" when working > > on it, despite "In Progress" being reserved for "fix uploaded to queue". > > The docs don't reserve that status, so I always considered "In Progress" > to be acceptable for both cases.
