Bug#484804: developers-reference: please add a suggestion to comment a "wontfix"
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.9
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
#468858 includes one more example of a DD whose social skills are not
developed enough to apply a nanogram of common sense and to explain
why he doesn't intend to fix a bug.
I therefore suggest adding a sentence to the second paragraph of
bullet (2) in chapter 5.8.3 so that it will say:
If the bug submitter disagrees with your decision to close
the bug, they may reopen it until you find an agreement on
how to handle it. If you don't find any, you may want to tag
the bug wontfix to let people know that the bug exists but
that it won't be corrected. Please make sure that the bug
submitter understands the reasons for your decision by
adding an explanation to the message that adds the wontfix tag.
If the situation is unacceptable, you (or the submitter) may want
to require a decision of the technical committee by reassigning
the bug to tech-ctte (you may use the clone command of the BTS if
you wish to keep it reported against your package). Before doing
so, please read the recommended procedure.
Greetings
Marc
