I'd like to see a place for users to report build failures and other bugs in the meta-data. I do not think it should be for reporting distro issues. Patchwork is working well for tracking patches already, so we should not encourage people to post patches to bugzilla. Having clear policies for what kind of bugs we track and how they are managed is critical. An example of a management task is assigning bugs to individuals, some people may be OK with having a bug master assign them bugs and others may not. Peoples wishes should be respected. Philip
