Our response for (say) XQuery was that the bugzilla postings go to a mailing list and we have discussion in the comments of the bug report - that way everyone sees them. > So, I for one, feel like such requests in bugzilla should be left in > the "New" or "Unconfirmed" state, > with a text inviting the person to discuss it either her or on IRC, > stating that it might never > part from "unconfirmed" otherwise (but also, it could happen - > requests as simple as > having an option to display a Layer's size could be done by any of the > regular contributors > if he felt like it and had the time). I think this is better - even though Sven was very polite, the commenter will get mail that says "CLOSED - INVALID" and may well have to scroll down to see the comments, which people unfamiliar with bugzilla are unlikely to do. I think also other GNOME projects do entertain at least a little discussion of new features on bugzilla, and GIMP should be part of that community too.
