No, most problem from it (at my experience and by other answers there) because we got many reports dead at begining. Users encountered fill bug report, but if it is new user, it in 90% cases even do not answer on question how it may be reproduced. I assume it is main bad there. Can we add functionality track user bugreports and allow answer on requests (as minimum with 'needinfo' state) directly from abrt?? I think it may serious increase percentage of usefull bug reports from abrt. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
