This happens today already. The proposal as it is doesn't change that. The best one can do is keep a list of already contacted vendors and hope someone actually reads it. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it will be read for a short period of time, assumed to be stale after that, and the problem will persist. I would strongly encourage everyone to not over-engineer a process to cover all possible cases here. It's not going to help. josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
