This response regardless, as a downstream user of a package, if i report a bug, it's nice to know if it's going to be fixed in a current release or not. Until the upstream bugfix lands in a package downstream, downstream should leave the bug open. The bug can be used to track an update from bodhi too, and even suggest to the user that he download a package out of testing to see that it is fixed. Without the maintainers acting as the man in the middle, a potential bug reporter not only has to open an account with the KDE bug tracker, but then he might be asked to download source code, build it on his own, and do a number of other hassles to help upstream out. The maintainers can assist this by helping with test builds and so on. It's their responsibility, otherwise to track the issue upstream, regardless whether they are active developers. -Yaakov -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
