Subject: [gentoo-dev] Suggestion to ask devs to change their bugzilla name when becoming "devaway"

1 Hello
2
3 Currently, we only need to set a proper message in ~/.away (as talked in
4 http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/roll-call/devaway.xml ) when
5 becoming "devaway". The problem is that a lot of our users don't know
6 about that devaway list and, then, they will still open bug reports and
7 complaint when their reports get stalled due maintainer not being
8 available.

10 My suggestion (until http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256934 is
11 solved) is to add a new step to "how to use the Devaway System"
12 instructions asking people to also change their bugzilla name appending
13 "(Devaway)", for example:
14
15 "Pacho Ramos" would be changed to "Pacho Ramos (Deavaway)"
16
17 Then, people could simply search "devaway" in google and would get
18 proper information (gentoo devway page is the first shown)

20 Thanks
