The attached note in form of RFC contains some thoughts on how to make a |
| 2 |
devrel bug reporting inappropriate behavior more effective. The |
| 3 |
original has been reviewed by the people most immediately involved in |
| 4 |
processing such bugs (devrel, qa, ombudsman), and the attached version |
| 5 |
incorporates improvements suggested by ferringb, kingtaco, and |
| 6 |
plasmaroo. I am now distributing it to the gentoo-dev community for |
| 7 |
comments and for consideration when submitting new bug reports against |
| 8 |
personnel. |

The reason for the RFC is that recently there have been several new |
| 11 |
developer bug reports submitted, and some of them are hard to interpret |
| 12 |
and process correctly because of incomplete context. The theme of the |
| 13 |
RFC is that a report of a misbehaving developer is similar to a report |
| 14 |
of a misbehaving package, and should contain analogous information. The |
| 15 |
RFC itself is much less pretentious than this introduction. |
| 16 |

The RFC is also available on-line at |
| 18 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/devrel/DevrelBug.rfc.txt --- if you wish |
| 19 |
to compare, the original version is present in the ~fmccor/devrel |
| 20 |
directory too. |
