Err, you know very well that devrel has been CCed on the last email
exchange w/ peitolm (about ~6 weeks ago)... which, oh what a surprise,
hasn't gone anywhere yet again, and the same exact 2 year old bugs
have been carried on into yet another ebuild version.

But as stated in my original resignation, slacking developers feeling
uncomfortable and their wishes to keep ignoring their bugs for another
couple of years being shamelessly disrespected are far more important
for Gentoo than the actual long-lasting breakage for users and clearly
noone should care too much about people who just happen to have
getting the bugs fixed in a timely manner a part of their job
description. Bug wranglers are in fact dumb assign/CC scripts who
definitely shouldn't care for the bugs once they've been assigned.

Indeed. I've noticed the high standards being pushed by devrel quite a
couple of times, such as in [1]. So Bret, I sincerely hope you'll get
your devbox finally running after 3 years or so and you'll continue to
be such a great assett to Gentoo as you've been so far. ;)
