It hasn't exactly flourished. Right. This is: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers as John says, it's been around for a while. Both John and I have tried to drive it to some extent.

The fact that the work is often boring and generally not much use to the person doing the work him/herself, directly, contributes to this. -- 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
