Can you email the issues you're having to

Looking at te bug reports Alain posted in another mail, there seems to
be 2 issues. One is that he has proposed patches for packaging issues
for years without being heard. The second is, in my opinion, a less
problematic issue of a bug being closed to rapidly.
The first one is, in my opinion, a contributor killer issue and I have
been reporting it more than once. It is not acceptable to have packagers
not handling rapidly bugs where submitter proposes patches, or volunteer
to take care of the issue. FESCo should really come up with a guideline
or a solution for such issues, which is not a case-by-case decision.
It is especially frustrating when a contributor has done some work and
still the package maintainer doesn't seems to care at all about it.

I'm so fed up with this (people not responding to trivial to fix bugs / bugs
with patches attached) that I _regulary_ put a comment like this in bugzilla:
Can you please fix this, this blocks X other bugs. I'm sorry todo this, but
consider this your first ping in the light of the NonResponsiveMaintainers policy:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy/NonResponsiveMaintainers
Which sometimes gets people attention and sometimes not. I guess the
NonResponsiveMaintainers policy is already an answer to this, which is why I
use it, but I wonder if it is _the_ answer.

Hans
