It's the reporter who is most likely to be able to say whether it is, therefore, we ask the user to check and update the bug, not the maintainer. It may be 'fairer' to set needinfo maintainer, but the result sure wouldn't be as good in practical terms, because the maintainer is less likely than the user to actually be able/inclined to provide the required data. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
