Alex, No worries. My overreaction actually stemmed from my poor understanding of launchpad. I didn't realize the everyone could change the bug status. Consequently, I thought my bug was being permanently rejected, and I couldn't understand why someone who didn't appear to be the package maintainer could do that.
Sorry for turning this into a bigger deal than it needed to be. And thanks for getting involved and helping out with Ubuntu! -Forest -- Firefox cannot spell internet https://launchpad.net/bugs/73934 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
