One very positive thing from this thread is the number of packages / teams that are openly admitting that there is a manpower problem. I think that there is an untapped pool of people who could help a lot with the triage work, but the question is, where do they start? How do they know that they are welcome to start responding to a given packages bugs with some kind of analysis? One way is the existing wnpp system. <http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/help_requested> lists packages which have RFH filed. This list is very short and doesn't seem to include the examples which have been put forward in this thread at all. For such packages, where triage would be needed, would it not make sense to file an RFH bug to that effect? -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
