Have you considered adding the 'gift' tag[0] to some BTS bugs? how-can-i-help now uses this tag to list bugs affecting Debian infrastructure in a separate category. Stefano Zacchiroli did that for some debsources bugs, and this apparently had noticeable effects in terms of contributions. The current how-can-i-help output for this category is: Bugs affecting Debian infrastructure (tagged 'gift'): - installation-reports - https://bugs.debian.org/764277 - Graphical DE task don't install any DE - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761119 - debsources: suite-based navigation - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761149 - debsources: allow redirects to package versions based on suite/codename - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761227 - debsources: add totals to all /stats tables - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761228 - debsources: make pie charts more readable - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761229 - debsources: make trend charts more readable - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/761232 - debsources: release pages should mention release number and date - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/762951 - debsources: increase/maximize test coverage - qa.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/763921 - debsources: detailed directory listing with file types and permissions - www.debian.org - https://bugs.debian.org/766923 - www.debian.org: Who's using Debian page - 2014 update (yeah, there's a bug here -- hcih considers all pseudopackages as 'debian infrastructure' which doesn't work for installation-reports) [0] https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/GiftTag Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
