Re: issues to verify

[Graham Percival]

ok.  Thanks for all your effort so far, and thanks for letting me
know.

I disagree that the bug meister should be a programmer; this task
can be done with email, a web browser, and a moderate amount of
making lists on paper (or other means of administrative skill).
There is no reason to have a programmer doing those tasks.
