Bug reporting

Bug reporting

[Dave Abrahams]

I've been reporting bugs (lots of them, recently) via `M-x gnus-bug' but
most of those reports have gotten no attention.  Should I be reporting
those things here instead, or should I just be more patient, or...?

Thanks,

I'm like doing my day job at the moment.  Bug-fixing service will resume
in a few days.

I look at them on rare occasions (and have even fixed a couple). I'm
responding here mostly because I want to ask if there is some way for me
to mark them fixed? Send an email to Lars? 

(If thats the case, 9271 and 9272 are now fixed, and a fix for 9386 will be
pushed shortly).

Ditto; sorry for the lack of response from me for a while now.  I'm
digging myself out of a pile of kittehs^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork after moving
recently.

When you've fixed a bug, simply reply to the bugtracker, shortly say
that you've fixed it and append '-done' to the bug number in the mail
address, i.e., send to 9271-done <at> debbugs.gnu.org (it's already
merged with 9272, so you only have to close one of them).

Gentlemen, sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you.  It's just that I got
the impression the bug reporting system had recently been revamped and I
wasn't sure I was actually sending things to the best place.
