Because most dictionaries are abandoned, or have underqualified maintainers, this feature will not have any practical effect. (In reply to comment #1) > Because most dictionaries are abandoned, or have underqualified maintainers, > this feature will not have any practical effect. Yes, many aren't maintained well, but they also have inadequate bug reporting tools. Almost everyone can report a bug in a spelling dictionary, but almost nobody would bother to open Bugzilla for that. It must be as easy as clicking "Add to dictionary", but currently even if you report it to Bugzilla, it probably won't be handled - the user would have to search for the maintainer's email manually. If you give users the right spelling bug reporting tools and if you give the maintainers the right tools to manage these reports, it won't be abandoned any more. You can find a list of dictionary maintainers here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Dictionaries I don't think it's realistic to have an automatic reporting system since the dictionaries are scattered in so many places. |
