no - i wasn't talking about maintainer-needed bugs. it is my impression, |
| 17 |
that many apparently maintained packages have simple bugs lingering for |
| 18 |
extended periods of time. Fx. users reporting bugs AND supplying fixes, |
| 19 |
ready to be committed. |

i dont want to step on anyones toes, which is why this may need to be put |
| 22 |
in place carefully - but i do think it would improve average quality of |
| 23 |
the tree. |

the easy stuff, that is maintainer-needed is done regularly by a number of |
| 26 |
people. of course, "easy stuff" is different for different people. |

|
| 28 |
the SIMPLE keyword would definitively work, though. can somebody add it to |
| 29 |
bugzilla? |
