The BTS exists to help maintainers fix and track fixed bugs in their packages. The service to users comes from the BTS enabling maintainers to fix their bugs. While it's certainly not optimal, closing bugs which are unreproducible or incomplete are sometimes necessary because we do not have an infinite amount of maintainers to fix bugs. If there are people who feel strongly about helping to get these unreproducible or incomplete bugs in a state where someone can actually resolve them, then please, form a crew, and start working on them. Feel free to let ow...@bugs.debian.org know how you want to know about these bugs if you need some additional features in the BTS. We certainly could use more bug triagers. Haranguing maintainers who are doing a best-effort job or further discussion on -devel about this should not be necessary. Don Armstrong -- Your village called.
