26 Nathan you have this misconception that just cause a bug apears on
27 one system it is gonna apear on multiple systems. Most compilation
28 bugs that I have seen are usually due to user not maintaining their
29 configurations properly. You also still fail to understand that most
30 of us maintain more packages than just one and it is impossible for us
31 to take and drop what we are working on to help test and confirm that
32 a bug does exist and is not user error. As far as team leads go they
33 make sure the project stay on task and packages and bugs are handled
34 in a timely manner. I would like to know do you want us to have 15
35 devs test for a particular bug if a team lead is not avaliable or
36 would you like us to have just 2 people test?

38 This has gotten way out of control with time and how issues are
39 delt with, personally I think that you have a vendictive against a few
40 devs that have closed bugs on you that they have not been able to
41 replicate and/or find invalid. I can not say either way all I know is
42 you in FACT have a misconception of how much time goes into testing
43 before a package is moved to stable.
