14 Guys, can we please give the volunteers who are going around uploading
15 logs time to do their jobs before we go closing bugs as invalid? The
16 logs are going to get attached. If somebody is in a mad rush to
17 actually resolve the bug (heaven forbid), then just click on the link.

19 Per the Council meeting:
20
21 "The council recommends that bugs from any developer-run tinderbox not
22 be marked invalid based on whether the logs are attached or pointed to
23 by a permanent URL. The council also encourages efforts to automate
24 the attachment of tinderbox logs to improve the quality of the bugzilla
25 record."

30 Anybody closing these bugs is going against council recommendation,
31 and we appreciate the efforts of mjo to improve our bug records.
32 Let's not go creating work for ourselves by interfering with efforts
33 to document bugs, and run a tinderbox. I appreciate that the bug
34 wranglers add a GREAT deal of value to our bug reports in general, but
35 honestly I think they would do better to just let the scripts do their
36 jobs here.

38 In the interests of not micromanaging everybody and treating people
39 like children we're trying to avoid having a list of 50,000 policies
40 and rules everybody has to read and follow. With efforts to
41 automatically upload logs, this SHOULD be a moot issue.
42
43 I'm sure this is all the work of well-intentioned individuals who just
44 didn't hear the news. It probably wouldn't have hurt for me to post
45 the Council summary on the list.
46
47 Can we put this to rest already?
