For a long time before the bug wranglers, I personally had to deal with 75% of the Project Manager requests from flyspray. These were all reopen requests, and many of them arguing with the actual choice a developer made. Something like: Developer: Won't Implement. We want patch in features like this Reopen #1: But it's a good feature and upstream says it will be included soon! Me: Deny. He said he won't implement. Wait for upstream Reopen #2: This should totally be done. Without this patch Arch Linux sucks! Me: Deny
