When I open or CC on a bug that then gets fixed, I often feel like adding
a thanks to the bug. However, while it may be polite in other
circumstances, in this case it could be viewed as bug spam, so I've
hesitated.
I reviewed the bug reporting guidelines a month or so ago and didn't see
anything either way on it there, so I'm wondering, what's the general
opinion? Do you guys appreciate thanks (and confirmation the fix worked
at the same time, even when it's fairly obvious it should), or would you
rather not get the spam?
If there's a consensus reached, perhaps it should be added to the bug
reporting guidelines as well. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has
wondered about this.
What I've done occasionally so far is this. Gentoo tends to leave the
bug state in resolved/fixed. When I can confirm it, I'll close the bug,
with an appropriate note of confirmation and thanks. Does that work or
is it still too bug-spammy? Again, if there's a reasonable consensus,
it'd be nice to have it mentioned one way or the other in the bug
reporting guidelines.
