It's also unclear how I should add a line

There is not much else besides leaving out the bnc# you could do.
Like I said, the alternative is to explicitly require a bugzilla entry should be filed if one doesn't already exist. So you are saying that it is better to leave out the bnc# ? Or are there some circumstances in which it is better to file a bnc?
Patches come and go like socks. Nobody really wants a bugzilla entry for each and every one. Especially since Firefox is so slow on Atom-class..
A guideline for package maintainers, who choose to make a policy out of it for other submitters :)
In that case the page should say something like:
This page gives guidelines for managing the life cycle of patches to packages. Each project/package maintainer is free to adopt their own policy regarding how strictly they require submissions to adhere to these guidelines, so non-conforming submitrequests will be tolerated to different degrees based on the context.
Is that OK?
Yes, that essentially reflects what is being practiced. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
