What it seems like you're doing here is saying more work for the |
| 11 |
developers is fine, if it makes things easier for the users. (Developers |
| 12 |
will just cvs up, which is likely faster than dealing with a web interface.) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Although that may be nice in concept, in reality developers may have |
| 15 |
quite limited time. Most things that detract from the time they spend on |
| 16 |
development rather than on searching around and figuring out what to do |
| 17 |
makes Gentoo worse. It has yet to be proven that your suggestion would |
| 18 |
take more time, but that's the feeling I have. |

If one knows how to search bugzilla and understands how maintainers are |
| 21 |
indicated, this can be comparably easy already. Something like this |
| 22 |
could give you a search: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1. Use herdstat to find the maintainer, if you aren't comfortable with |
| 25 |
the metadata.xml files. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
$ herdstat --metadata xorg-x11 |
| 28 |
Package: x11-base/xorg-x11 |
| 29 |
Herds(1): x11 |
| 30 |
Maintainers(0): none |
| 31 |
Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ |
| 32 |
Description: X11 implementation by X.Org Foundation |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
2. Search for Enhancement bugs assigned to that herd/maintainer in |
| 35 |
Bugzilla. In this case, it would be bugs assigned to x11@g.o. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
3. Profit! |
