On some other mailing list, Axel Beckert and Paul Tagliamonte indicated that it would be nice to have an indication of the severity of the bug from the submitter's point of view, which would be totally separate from the current bug severities. There have been multiple requests in the past for some kind of voting (or similar) to indicate how many people are affected by a bug, and how seriously they were affected as well.[1] There is also some need for maintainers to organize bugs and prioritize them as well, beyond taking ownership via owner. Some people have pointed out that the way launchpad handles these is good; I'm amenable to implementing something similar in the BTS, but I'd like to follow someone else's example which works well if at all possible. 1: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=71879 -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Have you ever noticed: the most vocal superpatriots are the old men who send young men out to die. -- Harlan Ellison "Basilisk" (_Deathbird Stories_ p73) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-debbugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
