Suggestion - when bugs posted in bugs@ are resolved, post a foll
From browsing via NNTP I have noticed that the bugs@ list can be very
informative, and even more so when a bug originally posted on bugs@
has been fixed and the committer has replied to the thread saying so.
It makes it very easy to browse the archive to see what may or may not
have been addressed.
So I would like to request that whenever a committer fixes a bug that
was originally posted to or discussed on the bugs@ list, that the
committer post a reply to that thread on bugs@ indicating that a fix has
been committed!
Yah yah, I know we have bugzilla.. but regardless of whatever bug
tracking system we use I also believe that it is important to also have
a more inviting and less formal mechanism available to users and
developers for bugs (this after I have had several bad experiences
over the years attempting to report bugs to other projects and having
to spend long periods of time satisfying obtuse project requirements for
reporting bugs and wondering whether they even want people to report
bugs).
