How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

It was the sort of thing that would get bumped to Fate now. Actually I did once with 10.3, have a bug assigned to me with suggestion I took it to the project list.

It's hard to capture that. There is something that is easy to overlook: Many maintainers work for Red Hat but their Fedora work is voluntary. It’s hard to capture that.

Does bug assignment mean the same thing for both distributions? Assuming it does.... In fedora bugs are assigned to the primary maintainer for the package. Is that true for opensuse? If so then perhaps the assignment and reassignment differential is a direct result of a difference in the number of packages with a primary community maintainer. I think last time I looked 2/3 of all packages in Fedora had a non-redhat primary maintainer. Sorry I don't have reference to my blog entry when I went into details about the Fedora package maintainership breakdown. -jef Awesome.. someone else trying to get a quantitative look at community contribution
