Obvioulsy the "pull"ing of Dave to bugzilla hasnt worked (otherwise this discussion wouldnt be happening). Bug trackers have never worked for me either - in my current day job i am now passed notifications of every bugzuilla opened. I actually asked for this because i hate checking bugzilla. Over time heres what happened: month 0-3: Read the whole thing and called the owner. month 4-5: Spent about a 30 second glance and may email somebody month 6-9: Spend about 30 secs and archive them in a separate maibox month 9-12: fuck this shit. procmail the whole thing. That what procmail is for! Maybe someday over a fine cup of Tim Hortons French Vanilla cappucino and donut i'll go over that list and read them all- if only we had krispy creme donuts to go with Tim hortons coffee then i am sure i will read them ;-> The truth is i drink Tim Hortons capucino but still dont read the damn bugzilla mailbox. But i have it just in case i need it ... I can almost swear this is what will happen when you start ccing Dave on bugzillas. If you think of Dave as a server then the most reliable protocol is to retransmit. Under resource constraint he dumps packets (that del key). Add another server - Alexey - and broadcast to both via netdev and you start to scale. I dont think retransmission by a robot would work well either since it misses that human touch. So you have a challenging task. cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
