   David, your method is the dream of every software developer.

It is not a dream, it works perfectly fine and has done so
for 5+ years of Linux maintainence.

To make these things scale you MUST push the work out to other people,
you absolutely cannot centralize.  And here we're pushing it out to
the bug reporters, just like we push the work of patch maintainence to
the patch submitters.

If they don't care about the bug and won't retransmit when their
stuff isn't being looked at, their bug isn't worth being looked
at.

David, I'm not willing to waste both precious time arguing on this but I
will leave you question to think about. Is a bug report more useful for
the user of a "system" or for the "system" itself ?
