Oh yes, this sounds a lot better. I'd be willing to work in such a team of bug janitors, and judging from Cyril's post, there might be others willing to do so as well. The only thing that is need is some kind of automatism, forwarding bugs that have not been acted upon from some time to a mailing list or the like. No idea what the proper way of implementing this would be, but I guess the technical part is the easiest to solve. Best, Michael
