"If the reporter hasn't fulfilled these requirements, the bug should be marked ASSIGNED to bug-wranglers, and a full build log should be requested from the reporter."[1] I've taken to alternatively closing bugs as NEEDINFO lately, e.g. when there is a grave lack of (legible) information, or when output printed by the bug reporter suggests attaching specific files and this isn't done in a timely manner, simply to encourage _reading_ the output instead of simply copy/pasting it. > Or, if there was a way to attach files as part of the initial filing, > but if there is, I've not found it. You usually get a couple of minutes to hours before any wrangling happens. Regards, jer [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/bug-wranglers/index.xml
