That's a mistake from my side then. I wasn't (very) actively triaging bugs that many years ago, so it's logical I missed that. However, maybe we should add it to the wiki to make sure even people like me learn about this. :) > And well you answer yourself why it's being used: "Since Launchpad > cannot fetch the status of bugs from GNOME Bugzilla ", and I've no idea > why that's something to ask to the launchpad team.

Tags are easily added and I'm already annoyed by the one or two bugs that get uselessly changed by users (or trolls), so for you this must be even worse. We don't want to search results to become unreliable for the teams that depend on them to determine what they should be working on. However, as far as I'm aware regular users can set the Fix Committed status as well, although that does seem to be a bit less likely to be changed by users than tags. >> > Maybe something for a session at the UDS? > > That'd be great!. Thanks for raising this up. > I'm not the suitable person to lead such a session, but I would be interested in helping with the session and with drawing the specification -- if my sponsorship request gets accepted, of course. Apologises if my previous mail sounded a bit frustrated at some places, I was a bit tired and irritated. Next time I should save such mails as a draft and reread them before sending them. I did not mean to say I dislike the Desktop Team, my goal is to point at what I see as a communication mistake and to propose a session on the UDS for improving the integration of the different bug work-flows in use on Launchpad in the 'ubuntu' project. Pedro, I'm relieved to hear your OK after the terrible earth quake. I hope your family and friends are fine as well.
