Actually, after writing that I went and visited my bugs on savannah.
It seems that no-one's ever touched any gnustep bug I've reported.
Bah.

which bugs would those be? personally, I think you're full of shit.


Hi Alex,

I think this is not the tone in which any one of us should reply to a mail, not even to ones one doesn't like. The mail also did upset me, not because it isn't true that sometimes the solution to a problem in GNUstep takes very long, but the attitude that the handling of someones personal bug reports are taken as the measure for the whole GNUstep system.

So I did take some time to see, which open bug reports have been send in by MJ. From what I can tell he used the name slef and I could find exactly two bugs submitted by this person. (MJ may have submitted more bugs, without putting his/her name down to it, but as most of the GNUstep bugs have a known originator there cannot be to many of them either). Of this two bugs one is a minor enhancement request asking to move two bits from the GUI examples into different sections of GNUstep. The other one reports that some applications behave strange after switching to GNUstep 0.9.4. This one closes with the sentence: "This did not happen with 0.9.3. I have not recompiled applications against 0.9.4 yet." So the author of the bug report knows that a recompilation will be needed, but hasn't done so up to now and updated his/her bug report. If the bug report is that unimportant to him/herself than why should any GNUstep programmer have a look at it?
