I think any version bump request at any time is worthwhile. The earlier the better! > 2) If you had your way, would you discourage users from filing early > version bump requests? No. And I honestly don't understand other devs' reluctance for 0-day bug requests. Maybe I just don't have enough packages to be annoyed by the bug-spam, or maybe I'm just too lazy to check upstream's sites all day long, but I like to know that people are excited about the packages I maintain. Here's an interesting solution for those who find it annoying though: Just file your own 0-day bump request in bugzilla. In theory some users would find this and just CC themselves on it. Other users could be shushed with the shame of the DUPLICATE. Everyone wins! If someone had huge amounts of time, having a special bugzilla interface to show current, pending, and requested versions of each package (Sort of like an interactive packages.g.o?) may be a neat project... maybe next year's GSOC?
