I've always (well, since they were introduced) thought about the RFH bugs as either «we're now starting a team effort to fix up $package, please come and help» and more commonly: «I'm stuck maintaining this package with a mostly nonexistent/dysfunctional team, if somebody else who uses this would like to chip in, it'd be great». So, a way to highlight sore spots and get attention. A «please help me» bug that's been open for an average of almost three years isn't getting attention, nor highlighting anything. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
