[Python-Dev] Goodbye (original) (raw)

Speaking as a frequent contributor of bug reports and an occasional contributor of patches, I must say that I feel like status quo of the tracker before Mark's work was discouraging. If there is a vast collection of abandoned tickets, it gives me the strong impression that my attempted contributions are likely to end up in that pile. The messages I got from the tracker due to Mark's work saying things like "This ticket is closed due to inactivity." or "Would you be interested in refreshing this patch?" started to get me interested in contributing again.

Also, I would like to point out that, not having read the other traffic that this thread alludes to, either from earlier mailing list threads or from IRC, I don't really understand what exactly Mark did wrong. The complaints about his behavior on this thread seem to be a little... non-specific. Did he continue to close tickets after he was asked not to do so? I didn't see any quotes or timestamps showing what happened or when.

Regards,

Zooko
