16 Yes, this is probably the most helpful way for me to determine which
17 ebuilds I want to touch when I look at the bug-wranglers list. Because I
18 don't want to get stuck with the bugs later for something I don't use or
19 don't have an interest in, I go through and pick up ebuilds that have a
20 description that interests me. I'm sure other developers do the same.
21 Additionally, it helps the bug-wranglers people decide where to assign
22 those bugs.
