might want to cut out the editorialing. there's very good reasons for it: |
| 19 |
- there's a games component that users have historically rarely used incorrectly |
| 20 |
(e.g. filing non-games related bugs under it, and filing games bugs under |
| 21 |
something else) |
| 22 |
- historically there have been very few people outside of the games herd that |
| 23 |
maintained games packages, and even then, the bug should be assigned to games |
| 24 |
and the maintainers cc-ed. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
as i already said, we do this for other components/teams as well, so the |
| 27 |
handling of games bugs is not unique, both historically and today. i don't |
| 28 |
think changing the behavior makes sense when the majority still should be |
| 29 |
assigned to games@. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
if you wanted to address a real problem, then the bug i referenced would help |
| 32 |
for all packages/herds: http://bugs.gentoo.org/550158 |
