I'm seeing 24 bugs at:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/fprintd/bugs/all
including a potential security one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1333882
Fedora's bugzilla is a garbage fire as far as I'm concerned. I already made
that abundantly clear I think.
I said "garbage fire" when I meant "tire fire". It keeps on burning and I'm
too lazy/busy to handle those bugs downstream when the majority of the work,
triaging and discussions happen upstream.
From the reporters point of view their distribution is seen to them as
"upstream" so they don't want to run around the internet chasing down
bug trackers ( which they should not have to do if the distribution
package maintainers are doing their due diligence ).
From upstream point of view their issue tracker the point of origin and
they dont want to be chasing down bug trackers in those gazillion
downstream distribution using their application or application stack (
which again they should not have to do if the distribution package
maintainers are doing their due diligence ).
So basically your are just seeing two sides of the same problematic coin.
And this problem remains unsolvable while bug trackers and policy
surrounding them is so fragmented in the linux ecosystem.
I should also note that the Red Hat bugzilla is far too coarse for handling
split-up projects like gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon, both of
which are connected to multiple system layers (the kernel, systemd, a lot
of specialised daemons, windowing systems, and their dependencies) and which
have separate maintainers upstream.
Could not agree more.
Mozilla bugzilla is horrific tool in using and trying to resolve this
issue and even if it was not, it cannot be improved to be made even
remote usable issue tracker in this scenario due to it not being Fedora
only.
