[...] Of course this shouldn't change the way we use the BTS. If people misuse the BTS and close bugs which isn't really fixed or really proved as non-bugs they shouldn't get credited for the close. We might even let it have a negative impact on their status. I think some kind of review of the bug-fixing would be needed. Some system to let the maintainers rate the help they got: - Good fix - I only had to patch and rebuild the package - Important help - The bug wouldn't have been closed without the help - Nice try - The bug didn't actually get fixed but he tried a lot - Destructive help - This person shouldn't ever touch my packages again -- Peter Makholm | Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your [EMAIL PROTECTED] | pants and slide on the ice http://hacking.dk | -- Sidney Freedman
