Well, actually the wnpp bugs are probably the dirtiest part on the BTS: Understanding dirtiest as unattended, abandoned bugs and petitions. Most of the people working on the wnpp bugs has this concern: If nobody cares about a request or an intention to work, over a package, it should be closed, read the backlog to understand this point of view. In an example for this, I could say that I'm strongly against repeated ITPs and merged with the first one reported since they are most of the times useful and full of junk and should be closed. In this sense, this could work since people *really* interested on the ITPs and RFPs would be visible when reopening the bugs. If they don't care about the bugs they requested or were trying to package, well, it really should be closed, nobody will ever care. And just in case someone really cares, they'll file a bug, having 365 days to make it real and not overload garbage on the BTS. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: C671257D "Pues aquí, echando la weba: Es la vida del filósofo". -Polo
