That all needs to be done by someone initially yes. But then tracking what happens afterwards is something that can be distributed. A difficult bug can take a long time to resolve and generate a lot of messages; you don't want to require the initial sorter to handle all that too. It's much more scalable to let the developers update the state themselves then once they handle the bug. -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/
