Specifically the listing for the herd tag. |

Just because people are doing things *wrong* doesn't mean that there |
| 17 |
isn't a defined manner in which things should be done. |

Here's where you start making wild assumptions. Who ever said that we |
| 29 |
don't intend on maintaining *every* ebuild that gets submitted to us? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
You are starting to put words into my mouth and making claims that I'm |
| 32 |
not making. Stop. |

The bugs is assigned to the games team. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Should I go and simply ACCEPT every single bug assigned to games in |
| 41 |
bugzilla, including all of the bug spam that will be caused by it, just |
| 42 |
to show that we *have* accepted these bugs, and are simply working |
| 43 |
through them at our own pace? |

Correct. |

I never said this. Please don't try to use things that I never said as |
| 55 |
an argument, especially putting them in quotes, as if to quote me. |
| 56 |
You'll only serve to piss me off. |
