"Please do not file 0'day requests. When the maintainer doesn't react within a week, it's early enough to do so." Some maintainers clearly resent 0'day requests; likely they see them as "complaints", or simply clutter. Other maintainers do not see them as complaints or clutter; but as communication with users and support of their efforts; they seem genuinely appreciative that fellow Gentoo users would take the time to drop a note that things have changed - even "zero day" changes. Either perspective is understandable. As a user, and understanding that I am not complaining but instead trying to help the Gentoo effort, it is far easier for me to quickly drop a note when I see a bump. It ties me to the Gentoo effort; it allows me to feel that in a small way, I can contribute. The alternative for me is to......... put a reminder on a calendar? "it's been a week, drop a note to Bugzilla?". Should that become the standard, then I imagine many users will simply pass on Bugzilla "version bump" participation and maintain their own packages. May I suggest that this is a valid topic for discussion, and that you forward this to the Gentoo maintainers/gurus and discuss it a little bit; and decide, policy wise, how structured the use of Bugzilla should be. Is it more a disciplined "last recourse"; or is it user/maintainer participation system.......and more pointedly, do users readily and quickly send notes to Bugzilla, or do we minimize our interaction and wait a week before connecting. Please they could put a note here and in the newsletter telling us how Gentoo views it, and how we should use it. Thanks in Advance
