I think the time it takes to fix a bug varies so widely that there is no way to guestimate any 'average'. Some variables: * How good/stable the package is. * How active/good upstream is. * How complex the package is/what it does. * How many other packages it depends on where bugs may appear in interactions. I wouldn't personally even try and guess how long an 'average' bug take me to fix. There's really no average. > > What I'm trying to say here is that there is a magic number ( it > might be 8 it might be more but most likely it's less ) to how many > packages single individual can properly and reliably maintain in the > distribution. I disagree there is any magic number here. I think people who feel overloaded or unable to process the bugs they are responsable for should look for interested co-maintainers to help them. kevin
