I agree with John here. Dale, for small to medium packages, duplicated
bug reports are not a problem at all (indeed I´m happy if something
is brave enough to report a bug). If I know about bugs in my packages which
never are reported -- is nobodyone using my package or what?
However, there are some packages were the number of bugs reported and
open is terrible, and it requires a lot of work to clean this up.
I was surprised about your complaint. The last time, you just asked
for some people to help you with the bug reports. I remember that
I thought this was the right reaction. Has this changed? Some people
have offered you their help. Why didn´t you asked again?
FWIW, i you need help with the bug reports, I can take a look at
them. Just let me know.
