[OpenWrt-Devel] Open source & open process

[Adam Kuklycz]

One thing I have observed is that some developers are on the TRAC system and
actively looking at tickets, while others are purely on the mailing list and
do not regularly (or at all) look at the TRAC system.

This can cause confusion and frustration for some who are wanting to report
a bug, and report it via the TRAC system only to find out a couple of weeks
later that the developer responsible for a certain bug/package only looks at
the mailing list.

no its certainly farting. i have you 2 and about 1 other person
complain. the other 95% sent me mails with nice and simple questions and
input and so forth.

i just had a look, yesterday i got related to BB

* 8 "thank you" mails
* 6 mails asking for various support things
* 4 pkg maintainers ask for help/logs
* 2 devs asking for root on the build server
* 2 people reminded me that now BB is out of the way that i promised to
fix NCM, hwdetect, ...
* 2 mails of people voicing wishes for CC
* 2 driver fixes for i2c on mediatek  .....
* and etiennes mails and your reply

sorry but looking at those numbers it is farting that you are doing.
