Its not always the maintainer, sometimes the maintainer is a project and not an individual; prior to de-herdification there was not always a clear mapping from herd => bugzie account for assignment, etc.. I find that often in schemes like this people get caught up designing the optimal / perfect solution (which is often tricky) as opposed to using a nice solution that works 95% of the time; but 5% of the time is wrong. -A > > Just curious not trying to incite anything. > > Regards, > > -- > Alex Brandt > Software Developer for Rackspace and Developer for Gentoo > http://blog.alunduil.com >
