Why provide a maintainer dashboard at all? You can just go to bugs.debian.org and browse the bugs for your packages one by one. I don't have a particularly strong opinion on whether Ubuntu bugs should be displayed in the dashboard by default; but I don't have the impression that people who are objecting to it are doing so out of a desire to improve Debian, only out of a dislike of Ubuntu. And I think that's a shame. If there were other derivatives with similar sources of bug data that could be imported into the dashboard, and someone wanted to do the work to integrate those sources with the PTS etc., I would be in favor of them also being shown by default (though we'd probably want to aggregate all of them in the default view to not wind up with an endless set of columns each reporting zero bugs for the common case). It's always easier for someone to hide the information they decide they don't need, than to discover the information they don't know is available. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
