It is also done by many people as an attempt to get the developer to |
| 10 |
look at an issue. This is usually done by people used to web forums, |
| 11 |
where things are sorted by the most recent and things disappear off the |
| 12 |
"front page" over time. Most of these people either do not realize that |
| 13 |
bugs do not act the same as a web forum, or they're simply rude and |
| 14 |
trying to tell the developer that they think that their issue is more |
| 15 |
important than others. ;] |

Generally, "bump request" means to bump the version of a package, |
| 18 |
whereas just "bump" is for "bumping the thread"... |
