This is a false distinction - the world is not divided into "programmers" and "not programmers". There are many ways those not versed in code can help - in ways that cause bugs to get closed faster, and then someone comes around to 'your' bug sooner.
It seems that the assignee is too busy with other bugs to look at this, AFAIK he has more than 70 bugs. If this is a bug in the package and not something introduced by us, it might make sense to report it upstream, Then why not have a mail sent out to other devs so they can be alerted to the fact that some bugs are being ignored(even if not purposefully)?
As a bug keeper for an Open Source project I can tell you that they almost certainly have bugs of their own and are very much aware of the looming mountain that is Bugzilla. The attitude of my-bugs-don't-get-fixed-so-I'm-going-home is not helpful, to yourself or anyone else. And "more than 70 bugs"??! Hah, I'd love to be him! You'll find the same, and much worse, in any in-house/proprietary bug tracking system. Bugs are many, workers are few.
I thought the idea behind bugzilla was to be able to track bugs and resolutions. If this person has that many assigned bugs, then they shouldn't all be assigned to that person.
So you'd assign them to who? Remeber that bugs are not exclusively available to the person to whom they are assigned. Resources are constrained - that is why there is a thing called an "economy". :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
