32 Use Bugzilla to track which stable requests have been tested OK by
33 arch testers and send a weekly email report similar to the one Robin
34 sends out for additions and removals. Maybe we can use Target
35 Milestone: and add "Arch Tested X86" and so on. Most of my time is
36 spent on finding which packages need testing and if I knew some have
37 been tested good I could just move to the ones that need work.
