Interested users find the bug and know you are on it, and (as you said) |
| 12 |
can CC themselves for further updates. Users who don't look get the hint |
| 13 |
of a DUP to nudge them to check before filing next time. |

|

As you said, everyone wins! |

(As I posted earlier, I really don't mind a 3-day or 1 week hold-off, |
| 18 |
either. If devs want it... <shrug>. But I really don't see the big deal |
| 19 |
either way, and this way does have the advantages listed above.) |
