No, not currently. I usually go to the web interface and look at the open bugs, process new ones that can be handled quickly, or try to assign them to an expert on the specific area.

There are a lot more areas than we have experts - in these
cases I try to work on the ticket myself. This, and the
low quality of some of the submissions, consumes a considerable amount of time.


Indeed, you're doing most of the bugzilla work alone; it's a pity there
aren't more people helping with that.

Well, you know, XFree86's disregard for offers to help made by developers that have been with the project for over two years are certainly part of the problem.


Seriously, I don't know why I waste my time submitting patches that are specific to my platform and then wait up to three weeks for them to be committed. It is a waste of my time and an insult that I am made to do this while other platform maintainers made the luck of the draw and get to commit their patches directly. Here it is: Let me commit my own patches within two months or I am going to let xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin die; I will stop sending updates, I will request that you remove hw/xwin and stop advertising that you support Cygwin.
