Any bug that has sat there since 2009 will continue to stay unchanged
until someone kicks it into action again.
We don't need the bugzilla 4 workflow to make this happen, nor do we
_need_ the wording to change.
We do, however, need some action not just talk on our ML.
If I was a sys-admin I wouldn't make a change that affected everyone
on KDE on the basis of one comment from a single person.
A very brief look/google showed the actual change is a simple single
line change in bugzilla code.
I suggest we:
- make a list of people who support this change
- write a proposal of why this change is the correct thing to do.
Benefits/drawbacks
- write a RFC to kde-core-devel
- chase the inevitable conclusion up.
Any volunteers for any of this? If not I'll start drafting something next week.
Dave
