Not sure either, maybe brix will be able to answer your question better. |

Uhm, what I am saying here is that we can either have a *general* policy |
| 16 |
on acceptable bugzilla usage, or no policy at all. Inventing ad-hoc |
| 17 |
policies for a single project just because a couple of folks dislike |
| 18 |
that project does not do any good and does not make any sense either. |

The whole concept of status whiteboard and keywords usage constituting a |
| 21 |
misuse of Gentoo infrastructure is pretty new to me. That stuff is there |
| 22 |
to make searching for bugs and their grouping easier, and as such has |
| 23 |
been used. Then someone comes to #-devrel with the above complaint, and |
| 24 |
devrel (or some its member) within an hour decides that all such |
| 25 |
keywords and status whiteboard records need to be nuked from bugzilla? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What are the grounds for such decision, and why it's OK for one |
| 28 |
unofficial project to use bugzilla for their bugs, and why it's so |
| 29 |
horribly wrong for another unofficial project to even pollute those |
| 30 |
fields, without actually creating new bugs? That's what this thread is |
| 31 |
about, and that's why I have brought this up. Not to harm java migration |
| 32 |
and java folks. As I have stated already, I have no problem with their |
| 33 |
bugs, I've even talked to nichoj some weeks ago to arrange it in the |
| 34 |
best possible way. |

There would not be any issue if devrel didn't act the way they did, the |
| 43 |
matter has not been urgent at all. |
