5 Thanks. Those old bugs being displayed was a bug, I fixed it.

10 Yeah, the project was in fact inspired by tatt and the earlier gatt.

17 One of the main things I wanted was being able to see all bug comments,
18 bug dependencies, related bugs, and repoman output in the bugzilla
19 viewer. Can tatt do that?

21 I think I'm going to either re-use or copy tatt's parts responsible for
22 compiling and committing the changes. For now I just focused on the
23 first part of the workflow (identifying bugs to work on, and identifying
24 possible problems as early as possible).

29 Right, but sometimes there are bugs with no input from the maintainer.
30 Another thing I'd like to do is to mark such a bug as ignored, or even
31 "ignored until the next update" (e.g. when someone replies on that bug).
