No, sorry, not.


Let me tell you: I'm honestly disappointed in the attitude I'm seeing in bulk
nowadays from Konsole's bugtracker.


First, I don't understand why this question justified the NEEDINFO state. You
do not _need_ information from me. You could just go ahead and fix this bug.

There are situations that justify NEEDINFO, e.g. when you cannot reproduce the
bug, or don't understand what the reporter says. Apparently this is not the
case here. You are not blocked in any way.


Second, this Janitor bot auto-closing bugs.

You, dear KDE developers, often leave a bug unanswered for _years_. You even
leave _patches_ lying around for years without commenting on them. I
understand, you are all humans, you have finite capacity, you probably all
volunteer to do this. I also used to walk in these shoes for a long time, and
probably will do again.

But you really should not combine this with giving 45 days for OP to respond.
There are hundreds of reasons why the poster does not respond within this time
frame, none of those make the bugreport any less accurate.


You should seriously reconsider your workflow.

The current one hardly leads to better quality software in the long run. After
all, why wouldn't you want to address bugs whose reporter is no longer here?
The reporter is surely not the only person infected. Why wouldn't you want
future Konsole developers to find those bugs and potentially address them? Why
would you want to close your eyes and pretend that the bug doesn't exist,
rather than actually fixing it?

But most importantly, your current workflow is utterly unfair and
disrespectful.
