So, as of a few moments ago: Andrea who manages our mailing lists finally converted bug-wranglers to a proper mailing list (it was weirdly placed in the old mailing list scheme. Additionally it is now restored to its original purpose.
That purpose? So that people can look at incoming bugs and act upon that information by reassigning/closing/dup’ing bugs as needed. I’ll let you in on a sekrit too: it’s been a valuable tool to find potential developers. SpanKY is the prime example of that. There are many many others along the way as well, but he was the first. Well, anyway, about a week ago we noticed that there were a tonne of people on the bug-wranglers mailing list (which is really more of an alias in the way that it works) than I knew about or of. So, we sent an email asking everyone to justify their reasons for being on the list. The non-respondees (apart from the @gentoo.org people) were removed from the list.
The new policy is that from now on, if you want to be a bug-wrangler, start helping on bugzilla, you’ll likely get noticed. Jakub is the most recent example of that. That bug points out the other aspect of the bug-wranglers changes. All the non-gentoo people will be put on a list somewhere that infra and others can see.
That’s all for now, seemant out.
