It's not always a good idea to do as your propose as sometimes a bug in one package affects a lot of packages; what do you think of these alternate proposals: - display "ghost" bugs on the packages which were recently reassigned from (ie if you reassign a bug from X to Y, package X still displays it for some time) => this could be done on bugs.d.o, I don't know whether it's complex to implement - search through all recently reported bugs when submitting new bugs (instead of just presenting the list of bugs in the package one reports the bug against) => this would have to be implemented in all bug reporting tools, but might need some bugs.d.o changes as well -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
