For the record, of the people you listed: - none are managers at Canonical - only one is a Canonical employee - one is also a Debian developer. I think it's unfair of you to characterize your disagreement with the administrators of the Ubuntu Bug Control team as a case of contributions being treated as "second class, subject to wishes of managers". No one will disagree with the idea that much of the development direction of Ubuntu is influenced by Canonical management; Canonical is a company, and the work Canonical's employees do on Ubuntu during their work day is driven by business requirements. But that is unrelated to what has happened here. I don't think you will find Debian any more receptive to uncoordinated triaging of bugs than Ubuntu was. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
