If we dropped all of them, there wouldn't be much of a distribution left... please don't start filing delete requests.
I think initial problem got lost in the discussion.
the whole devel:languages:python has **no** bugowner set. **Can't file bugs. **
and while I fully agree that deleting 7k packages is not an option. I wonder if it really make sense to block bug creation for packages w/o bugowner keeping in mind that we have 7k packages without bugowner ?
There is nothing 'blocking from filing a bug' - just OBS can't assist in pre-filling the form and pre-selecting the bug owner. Anybody is free to still go to bugzilla, file a bug,, and the screening team will pick an assignee based on the maintainers list. Of course, OBS could pick any 'maintainer' at random if no bugowner is defined in a project/package. But it does, essentially, not stop one from filing a bug (it DOES make it less user-friendly though, otoh browsing through OBS to file a bug would never have been my preferred method; other people obviously do things differently) So - to cut this short: I'd recommend to file an issue (on github/openSUSe-open-build-service) to extend the webui to make better guesses - if no bug owner is defined. possibly on maintainers - or allow the screening team as a default fallback bugwoner.
