For the record, I'm referring to this bug report here: This posting of bugreports to mailinglists is often seen as unnecessary, and unfair since you're bringing attention to your pet bugs, which disadvantages others' pet bugs. Please don't do it, your bug likely ends up lower on developers' priority lists, and it sometimes causes bad blood (as can be seen in recent history). Even if you word it carefully, essentially your message is still saying that a trivial to triage bug doesn't get the attention you think it should get. That, however, is true for many bugs, sending reminders about them to mailinglists is no solution, since it doesn't scale, nor does it give any useful prioritization to developers. FWIW, I tend to other bugs, when I encounter this behaviour.
