Actually, such a script was my first thought as well. I could envision |
10 |
particularly cranky bug wranglers closing bugs as NEEDINFO, linking the |
11 |
script and saying reopen when the requested output is provided. |

That's certainly not being particularly cooperative, but a flat "we won't |
14 |
implement it ourselves" isn't being particularly cooperative either, and |
15 |
this would be one way I could see particularly cranky bug wranglers |
16 |
handling it. |

|
18 |
But having the script for bug wranglers to use is certainly more user |
19 |
friendly, and changing the formatting to put the familiar stuff all |
20 |
together in one spot, preferably top of the output, would be wrangler |
21 |
friendly as well. =:^) |
