no, because (unless the person doing it forgets to) you get a mail
when your bug is forwarded upstream.

see above.

again, see above.

"When Debian users make maintainers feel hurt, and not valued, and
willing to quit." That's nicer, even.

three random things that I did for Debian today:
- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-kde-commits/2005-January/000171.html
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/01/msg00434.html
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274779&msg=26
plus about 10 mails to handle KDE bugs in debian.
just to find out, at the end of the day, some nice guy complaining
about a bug not having being handled. it's *true* that sometimes you
need a fucking thick skin to stay here. still:

no, I like to get things done and make my users happy. some of them
won't let me, though.

yes sir! could you give me your bank account number so that I can give
