The ones that I'm CCed on, either as proxy maintainer or because I have some other interest, I prolly would mind. They're not simple revbumps, but they have dependency changes and/or other complicated changes, which is the only reason why they're still open. My bugs can't be solved with a simple rename-and-commit.

I'm prolly not the only one who feels this way, so you really need to pick your bugs carefully! Otherwise we'll end up with another screwed-up mess like the one we just went through with patrick.

Bumpdays are otherwise a good idea, though I'm not sure why we need a separate day for that in addition to our standard bugdays.
