Hi all, we're in the middle of the BSPMarathon[0]. Among the things new this year (as opposed to the sarge BSPs) are usertags for claiming bugs [1]. Unfortunately, the BTS is known to lag a bit these days, and it won't get better during a BSP, so I wonder how to best handle this. 0. http://wiki.debian.org/BSPMarathon 1. http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2005/09/msg00138.html Independently, I was considering that it would make a lot of sense for each attendant to prepare for the BSP, possibly by pre-selecting bugs to work on and ideally getting in touch with the maintainer of upstream as needed well in advance. One would thus claim a number of bugs to work on a week before and prepare everything so that the time at the BSP can be used for squashing, not waiting for maintainers to get back to you. After the BSP, bugs would be automatically unclaimed. This could be done in a way like the devscripts's pts-subscribe -- via an at job. Is this a good idea? Are people already doing this? -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems NP: No-Man / Together We're Stranger
