Hello fellow pygobject hackers,

Just yesterday I again closed a pygobject bug which was obsolete, as
it only applied to the old codegen stuff.

In the past weeks I made some progress with reducing the pygobject
patch review queue (i. e. bugs with patches which are not needs-work,
committed, or rejected) from ~ 40 to currently 8, and I'll get it down
to 6 again soon. FYI, that search is public in bugzilla, you'll see it
as "pygobject patches" on your "saved searches" page [1].

However, pygobject still has 165 open bugs at the time:

bluetooth-manager doesn't find devices

Hello.

I don't think it's a bug, I think I just misinstalled it but I didn't
find any relevant forum or mailing list, sorry for the noise.

I compiled and installed gnome-bluetooth on a slackware 13.37 machine
that doesn't use gnome.

When I start bluetooth-manager, it keeps searching forever for
devices, even though I can see them and connect to them with blueman
(but blueman seems unsupported now...), bot as a user or as root.

I think there is a misconfiguration somewhere, how can I find it? Does
bluetooth-manager rely on modification in policy files?

Thanks.

Automatic bug-buddy reports to GNOME Bugzilla now rejected

As GNOME 3.2.2 was released on November 17th I have bumped the minimally
required GNOME version for bug reports submitted to GNOME Bugzilla via
bug-buddy from 2.32.0 to 3.0.0.
Note that de facto blocks ANY automatic reports bug bug-buddy, as a
version 3 of bug-buddy does not exist as most distros have downstream
reporting tools nowadays.

Re: Fwd: A question related to issue resolution practices in Gnome

First impressions.

Seems quite interesting. However, due note that there are multiple teams
involved with Bugzilla:
1) bugmasters
   very small group of administrators
2) bugsquad
   loosely connected group of people who triage bugs
3) maintainers/developers
4) users

The entire triage process is decided by bugsquad themselves. I've cc'ed
gnome-bugsquad as I think they'll be interested in this email as well.
That is a public mailing list btw.
