5 Okay, sorry.

7 I was wondering what classes of bugs there are that are
8
9 - reoccuring (therefore beloning to a "class" or "pattern")
10
11 - relatively easy to fix
12
13 - ideally suited for non-maintainer updates,
14 i.e. stuff where the original maintainer just won't mind
15 that you touched "his" ebuild, even if he feels more or less
16 like its owner
17
18 From such patterns I expect:
19
20 - to find candidates more easy when I myself want to fix something
21 within limited time
22
23 - raising awareness on these bugs in hope other feel motivated
24 to look outr and fix for some of those, too.
25
26 - use these patterns to find future bugday candidates
27
28 A bit clearer now?
