That would explain why you're still filling gnome stabilization bugs
while we replied many times we don't want them in their current form ?

This was discussed on the mailing list a couple of times. Last big
thread related to this was automatic bug assignment iirc.

This generally needs to go first so sorting by summary shows your
packages in order and you have a chance to see this part of the summary
in bugzilla (with version optionally), the rest of the summary line is
imho less important when working through the web interface.

I'll repeat gnome team position here:

We do not want automated stabilization requests.

We handle so many packages that having individual bug reports is driving
arch teams and us crazy.

We have our own set of scripts to do batch stabilization bug reports.
They were designed with arch teams so that it does not generate too much
load on them.
