I think we should definitely have some way of designating which should |
| 11 |
be the contact for bugs. I've had some bugs sit around for a while |
| 12 |
without being noticed because they were assigned to the herd the package |
| 13 |
is in, and not to me personally, and I don't generally work with that |
| 14 |
herd, and the project associated with the herd doesn't generally |
| 15 |
maintain the package. |

I'm sure there are many cases where a similar situation exists. |

Another way to handle this is at least CC EVERYBODY in the metadata in |
| 20 |
new bugs, and not assume that copying the project will get all the |
| 21 |
maintainers. |
