A (not really good) example is #740601 where I wished I would have CCed all discussion to this issue that happened with upstream. There are other examples of [IR]TPs that can/should be used to collect information about the licensing which sometimes is a longish process. So I would like to turn your "All of them" into "99% of them" - but who is volunteering to pick the 1% that is worth keeping? > open bugs. > There are also 1688 open ITP bugs and those tend to be open for multiple > years for various reasons.

I agree that the ITP->RFP script was helpful to change the status of the bug and it would be good to check if this keeps on working. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
