Bug#886120: doxygen = scapegoat ?
@kilobyte, let me see if I can understand your purpose with this bug report.
What happened is:
1) you find a serious bug in ctpp2 (popcon: 14)
2) you decide it's RC
3) it's doxygen fault so you reassign it to doxygen (popcon: 8381), and it stays RC
Now let's look at the effect of all this:
1) doxygen is currently orphaned (https://bugs.debian.org/888580)
2) therefore nobody will take care of this unless someone adopts it
3) the average Johanna trying to decide whether she should adopt it will be repelled by this RC bug and the perspective that anybody anytime can file RC bugs because any obscure package fails to build and it's doxygen fault
4) consequently doxygen will not make it to buster
4) ctpp2-doc is also dropped from stable, and all other packages that depend on doxygen for building, which if I am not mistaken are 443:
grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends doxygen -sPackage /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources | wc
443 886 8612
Is that your wish ?
Paolo
