Hi Jeffrey, RFS actually stands for Request for Sponsorship. So these endless bug reports are opened by (mostly) non-Debian-developers who want to get their packages in Debian, or to upload a new version of existing packages. Perhaps one day you will subscribe to this list again if you want to upload package to Debian :)
You can obviously ask questions here and someone will answer you (subscription is not required). Like this email. <-- Cheers, Alex 2015-09-23 1:17 GMT+08:00, Jeffrey Walton <noloa...@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 1:10 PM, Alex Vong <alexvong1...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi Jeffrey, >> >> What sort of bug reports are you receiving?
