- I've already submitted 2 bug reports for gcc. I have no idea if it was
- received or not since you don't acknowledge receipt of a report (Not even
- a 1 liner?) Don't you think that sending a simple acknowledgement (could
- be automated) would at least ensure that reported bugs are correctly
-
- When I work on a bug report, I often send a message saying "Thanks."
- But many different people maintain various parts of GCC. So there is
- no one person who decides what to do with a bug report. For example,
- I don't work on C++ bugs or even look at them, so I certainly wouldn't
- ack them. I don't know what the C++ maintainer does about acking.
-
- It would be easy to arrange for something automated to report
- receiving a GCC bug. I'm not sure this would do a lot of good,
- because it would not guarantee that the person who works on that
- target machine or part of the compiler has received it.
-
- Cygnus is developing a bug-tracking system. I hope it will be adapted
- so that we can use it for overall tracking of GCC bug reports.
- (Contact gnu@cygnus.com if you'd like to volunteer to do the work.)
- Then we could make it ack automatically and also indicate that a
- person has been chosen to look at the report.
