13.08 < mharris> I know many people who refuse to file bugs, simply because
                 they believe X.Org developers consider their bugs as "noise"
                 and don't give a shit.
13.08 < ajax> ah
13.08 < mharris> It's not "noise".
13.08 < mharris> Should be more respectful to the community.
13.08 < mharris> I'd suggest "xorg-bugs"
13.09 < mharris> or "xorg-default-owner"
13.09 < mharris> "xorg-thanks-for-your-bug-report-kind-person"
13.09 < mharris> ;)
13.09 < mharris> "xorg-bugzilla-noise" might as well be
                 "xorg-fuck-off-with-your-damn-bugs"
13.10 < mharris> That's how at least some people read it anyway. ;)
13.10 < ajax> i admit to not subscribing to x-b-n
13.10 < mharris> I get it
13.10 < ajax> but i do query for fresh bugs all the time
13.10 < mharris> I don't read them all, but I get them, and read some
13.10 < ajax> so
13.10 < ajax> file a bug ;)
13.11 < ajax> actually don't, i'll do it
13.11 < mharris> just cut and paste the above conversation into it ;)
13.12 < ajax> that was the plan yes
Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2005-03-14 09:49:00 UTC
if a sitewrangler would set up the list alias to be less abrasive, i'd be happy
to grind through the bugzilla components and change the default owner.

17.50 < mharris> Ok, between:  xorg-team, xorg-maint, xorg-default-owner    I
                 think I like "xorg-team" the best.  It's short and sweet,
                 doesn't seem like it could be confused easily.
17.50 < ajax> and it builds community ;)
17.50 < mharris> yeah, it has a good connotation
17.54 < mharris> ajax: ok, xorg-team is set up
17.54 < mharris> xorg-team@lists.x.org
17.55 < mharris> For those who want to subscribe to getting every single bug
                 mail that goes to xorg ...
                 http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team
17.56 < ajax> bam, default owner is now xorg-team@
