That's what _you_ Debian maintainer think, because you know exactly how the BTS works. The user is absolutely not supposed to know that in each and every detail, and that's not written in any document the average user "should" be aware of. Summary: contrary to any argument you have raised or may raise, I had no way to figure out that I should not have acted like I did, that is as an average user (read "not an experienced Debian maintainer"). Be prepared to flame other users for being at fault of not knowing that you're so buried in work that even the simplest requests may sleep for months without care. > > Sorry if I'm becoming more and more sarcastic, but I feel that some > > are more concerned with finding any excuse for justifying the > > unjustifiable, rather than actually trying to analyze the reasons and > > change things so that this will not happen again. > three random things that I did for Debian today: No one assumes you personnally don't do enough for Debian, so there is no point in justifying yourself like that... However, the Debian KDE team managment system as a whole leaked in this particular tag+forward case. Yet, rather than recognizing it and trying to make things better for the future, some get angry instead..
