The best way to nominate something for CommonBugs is to add the CommonBugs keyword. There's a custom search linked from the Common Bugs pages which searches for bugs that have the keyword but no link to a CommonBugs page in their whiteboard field, which folks who update the common bugs page can use to find bugs nominated to be added. It's fine to send a mail like this, but if no-one adds it right away, it might get forgotten. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
