Not sure either, maybe brix will be able to answer your question better.

Uhm, what I am saying here is that we can either have a *general* policy
on acceptable bugzilla usage, or no policy at all. Inventing ad-hoc
policies for a single project just because a couple of folks dislike
that project does not do any good and does not make any sense either.

The whole concept of status whiteboard and keywords usage constituting a
misuse of Gentoo infrastructure is pretty new to me. That stuff is there
 to make searching for bugs and their grouping easier, and as such has
been used. Then someone comes to #-devrel with the above complaint, and
devrel (or some its member) within an hour decides that all such
keywords and status whiteboard records need to be nuked from bugzilla?

What are the grounds for such decision, and why it's OK for one
unofficial project to use bugzilla for their bugs, and why it's so
horribly wrong for another unofficial project to even pollute those
fields, without actually creating new bugs? That's what this thread is
about, and that's why I have brought this up. Not to harm java migration
and java folks. As I have stated already, I have no problem with their
bugs, I've even talked to nichoj some weeks ago to arrange it in the
best possible way.

There would not be any issue if devrel didn't act the way they did, the
matter has not been urgent at all.
