I can accept the fact that people complain about bugs / missing enhancements on all kinds of mailing lists, bug tracking systems, feature request documents and similiar. I however can not accept that when they report it to some random place expect the KDE maintainers to waste their time on searching it somewhere and finding it. And I am upset about people after a while then asking those KDE maintainers why the hell they didn't bother fixing their problem. > 1) write a program to sabotage bugs.debian.org or a subsection of it. Its not my intention at all to sabotage bugs.debian.org. Its a great bug tracking system and its open, and it often contains great ressource of information. I even use it from time to time (mostly reading though) :) > 2) write a program that slurps bugs of certain debian package names and > duplicates the contents in the kde bugs. No. Its the job of the debian maintainer and/or the original reporter to forward their reports upstream when its an upstream issue. > the basic principle: allow bugs to be searched across > multiple systems (not just your own system); allow a bug to > be transferred by the thingies. bug maintainer people. for them > with one easy push-of-a-browser-button say "here. _you_ deal with it". Oh, thats a great suggestion, I'd even support you in implementing it. There is actually a trace-back-kinda functionality being implemented for bugzilla like systems I believe. Ah, the debian bugtracking system doesn't use bugzilla btw. > ahh, why didnt' _you_ think of some of these ideas Relax, nobody is being pissed. You just have to realize that if you tell person A about a problem, person B doesn't magically get notified about it. This is not different than in other situations in real life.
