I'm not asking that such a message be sent to every bug, what I'm asking is that: IF you're not going to do anything with a bug for a long period that you send a message to that effect. Note that this basically consists of: 1) gather the list of bugs that are unanswered 2) send 1 short message to that list of bugs In other words 1 mail every week (or 2 weeks) or so. I really don't think that's an unreasonable think to ask (and 1 could possibly be automated by BTS) -- Cheers, cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)
