2- ABRT should keep track of unresponsive users. If a user has an outstanding "needinfo?" flag for the bugs sent through ABRT, he shouldn't be able to send a new bug report through ABRT for my packages.
Since this has turned into general pony request to the ABRT I shall throw in one for the reporters
On behalf of all reporters that have never received a response from a maintainer on a component they have reported against I not only ask the ABRT maintainers to block any reports against those component that a maintainer has not responded but I also request that those components get removed from bugzilla.redhat.com.
3- Ability to turn off ABRT for certain packages. Whenever I provide an application package with no nonstandard patches and there is a crash, it is most definitely not my fault. The user should be instructed to take the backtrace upstream to the URL of the package and report it in their bug tracker/mailing list. Even better, ABRT can file the bug directly upstream. I am willing to provide the information of upstream bug trackers/mailing lists for all of my packages.
This confusion has been going on for enough of release cycles already and I think it's time for FPC to step in and clarify what are the maintainers/packagers responsibility towards the Fedora community and it's user base to avoid any further rifts between QA members and maintainers.
This one's fesco, not fpc. (Policy about maintaining packages rather than how to create quality packages).
Perhaps a slightly easier to implement method of achieving something similar would be to orphan packages that have ignored bug reports rather than to remove their bugzilla components.
So what if I got 100 bug reports and didn't answered 10 bugs you will want to orphan my package? Welcome to the world without gtk, openjdk, eclipse-platform, kdelibs ....
I can't see why can't we just admit - This is our best feel free to join us and help ?? (someone should find better wording)
