Not sure that will be fruitful. What makes you think the reporter would not add another comment? [The same can be observed in bodhi, where subsequently added comments (and votes) ignore everything that has been said before. Sometimes an update submitter writes "Please don't vote +1 on this", but anonymous and registered users add their votes and comments nevertheless. Notifications or instructions from the packager get lost in all the noise.] Somewhat related: I ABRT I'd prefer if I could edit the "How to reproduce?" field _before_ waiting for ABRT to fetch debuginfo packages. Currently, I enter the notes in normal text editor, because ABRT insists on downloading packages first, and the through-put monitor tells me the access to the repo isn't good. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
