• [$] Bug-monitoring expectations and Fedora GNOME packages

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Tue May 5 06:40:09 2026

    For a number of years, users submitting bugs reports against GNOME packages in Fedora have
    received an auto-reply saying that the reports were not actively
    monitored; users were encouraged to file bugs with GNOME upstream instead. However,
    that practice seems to be in conflict with the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) policy
    that package maintainers "deal with reported bugs in a timely manner". On
    April 28, FESCo discussed the disconnect between practice and policy; so far, it has only opted to tweak the wording of the automatic response.
