I'll turn that around. How was anyone meant to know that you were working on it? > I subscribed to bugzilla emails for the bug but this is > the first I've heard To provide a little background, the ASF Bugzilla instances are patched to hard-code the 'Assigned to' field to the appropriate dev list. This is to ensure that the dev list always receives e-mails for every bug change. Generally, the Tomcat committers will comment on a bug as they make progress on it. If, like 59399, the fix is simple, it is likely that the first you will see of this is a comment to say it is fixed. If it is more complicated, then you are likely to see additional comments either reporting progress or asking for more information. It is also possible that there may be some additional discussion on the dev list. If you are interested in working on Tomcat then it is worth subscribing to the dev list. If you want to work on a bug then the simplest thing to do is to add a comment to that effect to the bug. Of course, if time passes and there is no sign of progress, someone else may well start working on it anyway.
