Extra bug summaries
I've written a script to do some more analysis of the outstanding bug
reports, and it currently produces one of the two lists shown below.
Please comment on whether this is helpful, and if so which is more so,
whether it should be posted or put up on the WWW, what would be more
helpful, &c &c.
I'd like to be able to list the name of the supposed maintainer of a
package - I'm discussing with Ian Murdock how to get the maintainer
info so that people who have to stop maintaing packages don't keep
getting listed in bug reports &c.
(Please CC iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk on this discussion, as I don't have
sane access to debian-devel here and I'd have to bounce messages back
and forth.)
Ian.
