My first inclination is to take "WONTFIX" as "PISSOFF", and I even read the previous thread in question. :) I humbly suggest adding a "REVIEWED" and/or "NEEDSWORK" keyword and leaving the bug in the OPEN or ASSIGNED state. But adding the comments (with pointers to more in-depth explanations) is a great idea, especially if you present them in a cordial way: Thanks for helping Gentoo! The ebuild you submitted isn't quite ready, so here is what one needs to do to get it in the tree: link1 link2 Thanks again! Which is probably what you're doing already. :) As for missing/AWOL developers, and for developer/user problem resolution, I *think* devrel handles that: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/ Nathan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDJhs02QTTR4CNEQARApZsAJ9+KRCAsawb5/fVD8FFpTO0d2TitACgmqH2 OI1jP3uv+/Ll7qHOawzqowo= =VPCh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
