Please could you stop confirming your own bugs, and have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status - in particular, the following section:
"Confirmed: * Another reporter has experienced the same bug, this can come in the form of a duplicate bug or a bug comment * Confirmed bugs require confirmation from someone other than the original reporter * This helps ensure that the bug is applicable to Ubuntu in general, and not a problem with the reporter's system, therefore... * Please don't confirm your own bugs! " And I don't understand what you mean about there being no Ubuntu maintainers for a project. Looking at the examples you gave: * evolution is maintained by ubuntu-desktop (please see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/2.24.0-0ubuntu1) * xkeyboard-config is maintained by ubuntu-dev (please see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/1.3-2ubuntu4 So, there isn't really a bug in the system here at all is there? Developers do look at bug reports and work on them, and I think that it is slightly insulting for you to suggest that they do not. Remember that 'triaged' bugs are the ones that are ready for a developer to look at and begin working on (the ones that make up 9% of open bug reports in your first post). Other bug reports may not contain enough information for a developer to work on them, and it is the responsibility of the bug triagers to improve these bug reports (by communicating with the reporter) and progress them in to a more useful state for a developer. ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => New -- Ubuntu is drowning in bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
