I think this is simply a case of spending the last few years making it easy to find and file bugs, while we haven't spent a whole lot of time making it easier to /fix/ those bugs. We've added QA, we've grown a community around testing, we've grown a community around making those bugs have proper info and are filed in the right place, but I don't see a growth in the community of people who can actually /fix/ these bugs. I also agree that we have a growth of maintainers who do not possess the ability to fix bugs in the software they are maintaining. We've never made that a requirement for being a packager in Fedora. I urge you to take some of this frustration energy and put it toward efforts to grow a bug /fixing/ community, because we sure could use one. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
