The BTS processes messages every 3 minutes. There's nothing really
stopping an inotify-based daemon always running and invoking processall
than inertia (and some processes which pull long-running locks due to
old design decisions around archiving).

There's also no processes left which require waiting to receive a bug
number; you can do everything in the initial message that you can do
later using the Control: pseudoheader.

That said, the critique is received, and I've been very, very slowly
working on rewriting the entire system to address some of these issues.

keeping things running has taken precedence.]
