What I've doing for some time is getting the oldest bugs from LP listing and check them.

Take a look at his LP page, he even admits to being poisonous.

Unfortunately every community has poisonous people. From what I have read from the reporter, he has no idea what project management is about, let alone management. He probably isn't a developer either, probably read someone had problems on slashdot and he followed along. I bet if the kernel changed /dev/hda to /dev/pda he wouldn't have complained. He acts like it is always the distros fault, so if he knew anything about Linux he might not have been such an idiot. Wow, nice bug report. Unfortunately every community has poisonous people.

It would not surprise me if there was a high churn in triagers as the rise in complaints drains morale. Who wants to spend their spare time interacting with the Ubuntu community in bugs like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/119659 ? Perhaps Ubuntu has had a honeymoon period and soon folks will be bemoaning it the same way they bemoan Fedora...

That's the biggest dip I've ever seen! And now I know why my inbox is flooded. I think I should get working on flooding it myself. Wow, awesome job! That’s the biggest dip I’ve ever seen!

The main reason to this post was to make people go WOW! and hopefully get motivated. After checking email this morning, well I can say it worked to an extent. I have seen people triaging that I have never seen before. You are right, if the effort isn't continued, then it will be rolled back, if it hasn't already. You have to remember, there are quite a few bugs on LP that have already been fixed but have yet to be closed. But if 10% of our community would do 1/2 of what I did yesterday, we would be able to get a pretty good grasp on the bugs. Another thing too, a lot of our reported bugs are due to upstream bugs, so we need to take the bugs people have reported, verify them upstream and create/link to upstream reports. If we just harbor the reports in Malone and don't inform the upstream developers, then the bugs will never get fixed. thanks everyone.
