Don't think that's true. There are plenty of projects who only accept bugs through bugzilla (mozilla, various distributions, etc.) and I don't see any evidence of your claim being true. Sure there will be always people who cannot be bothered to use any kind of interface for bugs, but then these are unlikely to stay on board during a longer remote debugging q'n'a session either. So those people can be just ignored; they essentially don't exist in the bug report universe. Anyways it only works if people are willing to use it too and there are enough people who maintain bugs (aka ask questions to find out who to reassign, prune old bugs etc.) If that's not there then it won't work well obviously, like it is currently the case. I don't think the "keep it in Andrew's/Adrian's head" method is going to scale longer term at least (and one of them has already thrown in the towel) The "send it to a gigantic mailing list and hope someone catches it" method also doesn't seem to be that great. At least there are lots of lost reports in my experience this way. I suspect the real reason is more "Linus doesn't like web interfaces for no particular good reason". Not much can be done about that. Well perhaps someone can write a gopher based bugzilla interface or something to solve that instead @) -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
