The dev might note in the bug when marking it the existing mirrored package version, leaving interested parties only to watch for an incremented version to hit mirrors. I wonder if the Bugzilla software, possibly via upgrade or extension, has a way to do that automatically? If it doesn't, maybe an RFE is worth investigating by someone who understands the build and distribute process.
But developers are in the position? No. We don't even have enough time to develop stuff. Instead we waste time with useless discussions. On multiple levels. That sucks our time much to much. SUSE as a company is in the position? We have to decide how we like our main sponsor to invests time, manpower, and money. The integration work Bernhard did between the Open Build Service (OBS) and bugzilla is one big step forward. The next step would be an issue tracker which is able to pull the available package bugowner and assign a fresh report to this person. If that's impossible with the Novell tool we need an own one for openSUSE. Maintainers are welcome. From the Samba bugzilla I know that this is painful and time consuming job. I'm quite happy someone else from Novell handles this work. For the report state all we need is to document the workflow as Coolo did in his reply. This needs to be merged to the wiki if it's not yet there. Also here contribution is possible, easy, and welcome. Also this is task requires no development skills.
