Hi, all! Please take this message as a friendly reminder that we would really prefer that bugs be reported on the bugtracker at trac.torproject.org.
The main advantage of doing this is that once a bug is on the bugtracker, it can't go away until somebody closes it; and if it gets closed in error, it can get reopened. Also, bugs on the bugtracker can get assigned to milestones, so we can treat them as a checklist of things that need to get dealt with before a certain release can come out. Bugs reported on a mailing list, however, can get forgotten about. There are folks -- me included -- who try to remember to paste things onto the bugtracker when I see them reported elsewhere, but that's just one more thing for developers to spend time on, and sometimes we miss them. I'm not writing this to disclaim responsibility for getting stuff fixed when it gets posted here, mentioned on IRC, tweeted, written in personal email, scribbled in a bathroom stall where you expect a developer to eventually visit, or whatever! If that's the only way that you can report a bug, then thanks for reporting it: I would rather have the bug report than not, and I am grateful for all the help I can get! But before you do, please consider making a developer's job easier, and posting bugs to the bugtracker. Many thanks for your indulgence, and thanks for using Tor! seasons' greetings, -- Nick Mathewson _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
