If you are interest i could help track down some bugs that are still opens and that could be close for some reason (generally too old bugs or solve already found) As i need an helper that will follow the links, check and close them, anyone with that power will be welcome :) The idea is to lower new/open bugs number that might just lie there for nothing and drove attention on them (well, also for nothing). Some examples: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307897 reason: close by itself and from forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-818134-highlight-.html http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186155 reason: can say gentoo-2007 livecd is too old http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218860 reason: xorg.log expose xorg version 1.3.0, no longer in tree I endup for now, will continue if someone find that idea useful. Else, well, just close that bug :) Reproducible: Always
Thanks for your interest. Filing bugs about bugs usually isn't very productive :) If you want to help I suggest you join irc.freenode.net and discuss things with us in #gentoo-bugs - that tends to be more efficient.
devs don't lack manpower. devs lack time because they are just wasting it. I suppose i will do as everyone: don't care of anything.
