Has the project discussed or determined how we will:

Do you have any ideas? You're part of the projet.
This is something which has amazed / annoyed me too, I've tried several times
to start a community effort to something about this metric, but sofar with
little success.
These bugs fall into 2 categories:
1) Bugs which are simply being ignored by @redhat.com people who need to be hit
with the cluebat (repeatedly)
Don't make statements like that. They aren't helpful in any manner.
You cannot claim that they are intentionally ignoring them. Hitting
people with the "update your bugs" cluebat that have a massive amount of
bugs simply does not work and does not help solve the problem.
>> 2) Really really hard bugs (think xorg / kernel / hal /mkinitrd)
I have a different opinion and experience on this, I deliberately created 2
categories. The people with lots of bugs generally have bugs that fall into
category 2 and despite the large number of these bugs they have, they respond
more often to bugs of mine then people with packages with mainly category 1 bugs.
Wether you like it or not, there are some people both in FC and FE, who do a
bad job of responding to bugs. This is something which needs to be addressed,
covering this with the blanket of love is not going to help!
Most likely a lot of 1) bugs are already solved but never got closed /
retested, others should be taken upstream (and thus closed in Fedora BZ), etc.
If a lot of 1) bugs are already solved, anyone within the 'fedorabugs'
group can act as a proxy to close them out. Team effort would be a very
good thing I think.
Agreed, as said I've tried to start a team / group effort on this already
several times, do you want to try this one more time together with me? Maybe
with combined forces we have more luck.

Hans
