"If the reporter hasn't fulfilled these requirements, the bug should |
| 11 |
be marked ASSIGNED to bug-wranglers, and a full build log should be |
| 12 |
requested from the reporter."[1] |

I've taken to alternatively closing bugs as NEEDINFO lately, e.g. when |
| 15 |
there is a grave lack of (legible) information, or when output printed |
| 16 |
by the bug reporter suggests attaching specific files and this isn't |
| 17 |
done in a timely manner, simply to encourage _reading_ the output |
| 18 |
instead of simply copy/pasting it. |

You usually get a couple of minutes to hours before any wrangling |

happens. |
