It hasn't exactly flourished. DISCLAIMER: I'm not a package maintainer, but I have been involved with bug triage and was around the original effort to get Fedora bugzilla under control. I've always believed our core need is more maintainers if the goal is *fixing* and *resolving* bugs. Triage and debugging help only goes so far. It took several posts to devel-announce, personal emails, and weekly meetings during the roll up to Alpha, Beta, and Final, just to get information and help with ~20 blocker bugs. Addressing ~12,000 other open bugs will require something different. John -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
