FWIW, gentoo-dev wouldn't be either. But as here, pretty much all lists |
| 9 |
(and forums and IRC and...) should be at least polite enough to refer |
| 10 |
first time posters to the correct locations, and often to answer the |
| 11 |
question too. =:^) |

But Gentoo uses bugs for all sorts of stuff, including administrative |
| 14 |
stuff like tracking new and retiring devs, and other "not ordinarily |
| 15 |
something you'd call a bug" bugs, so that's a reasonable place (even if |
| 16 |
they do get marked invalid or notabug at times), and the various user |
| 17 |
forums/lists/IRC-channels work well if you want a second user opinion, or |
| 18 |
just some peer help, before bothering a dev. |
