Speaking for myself, I've only put in one bug report on an OSS project. Won't do it again. Firefox, some kinda "attribute works with html, but blows up on xhtml" issue. Nothing that was really xhtml related, but their Bugzilla folks pulled out some unconvincing RFC crap claiming that it was out of scope for xhtml as opposed to html so they wouldn't fix it. Their choice. 4 yrs ago. Still getting occasional emails from Bugzilla about that "we won't fix it for you" bug. At least 2 dozen over the years. Nothing about fixing it, just status churn. If I ever specifically work on an OSS project's codeline, I'll post bug reports, but frankly that FF example is a complete turn-off to contributing by reporting bugs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
