Someone mentioned in the KDEPIM list that bugs can sit here "unnoticed" for years. Is there anyway of looking at a bug in bugzilla to check if any of the people assigned to look at it have actually read it other than them actually making a comment on it or changing the bug status?
Regards

Well, if you wish I can tell you. I am one of the reporters that got a bug closed after so may years that I received a letter of apologies for not having received any consideration before the change of generation took place. Bugs can stay there for about 3 years or longer. To know if your bug is looked upon, you should see if it has been "assigned" and at least if it has been "confirmed". If it is just confirmed but not assigned you have a "weapon", which is the vote. You can vote for a bug and some of the bugs that where unbelievably annoying to people, where fixed just because people did vote for it. We as a distribution may have noteworthy power if we put our forces together and get some bug fixed by popular vote if we do coordinate our votes. So I would say, if you have something that "stays on your heard" which is easy as with PIM as a central component, I think that KDE does still not understand the paramount importance for daily usage that this component has, and you may try to argue for a bug here, I for sure would be available to vote in a coordinated matter when it comes for PIM bugs. Others (I think of Anton and Basil :-p) may do so, driven by an act of profound altruism. You let me know what you need, and if I have votes to spare you will get my support.
I firmly believe that one of the mayor problems of this otherwise very enjoyable desktop is priority setting. PIM and Kmail (filtering, akonadi etc) are part of it. Bear in mind however that (for what I heard) they are working on a complete rewrite of PIM/Akonadi to drive out design errors and bugs. So if the problems you face will be fixed through this, i am afraid, chances are good that this will be "wontfix" if the devs think it will be obsoleted by the new version anyway. (Which, to tell the truth, I hope so, it is time to get this very central component working and shining, if not other to heighten the reputation of the software collection as a whole).
Thanks. It was just a general question at the moment. I was interested in finding out if it was possible to find out if the long standing bugs were "unseen" or "seen" without any status being changed. I've had a few bugs in the system but i seem to close most them as i move onto newer releases of that software.
