1 I noticed a general tendency to close bugs affecting stable before
2 pushing the fix to stable.

4 One recent example is <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399291>,
5 but there are more.
6
7 The idea is that if you only fix in ~arch, you risk a serious and
8 _known_ regression in stable, which could be easily avoided.

10 Do you have any ideas how do we:
11
12 1. Make as many developers (everyone?) as possible aware of this.
13
14 2. Handle already closed bugs with no fix in stable? I've seen people
15 closing the bugs again.
