Comment 5 for bug 679590

Hi Rogier,

I appreciate the energy you are putting into cleaning up / sorting out the bug tracker.

Re bughunters group, everybody can apply to become a member by hitting the appropriate link on its homepage https://launchpad.net/~hugin-bug-hunters and everybody can ee who is a member by hitting another link on that page. You can see there that Harry is a team member.

Furthermore, you can see on the right hand side of this bug report who is subscribed / also notified.

If you want to attract the attention of somebody to a particular bug report, use the "Subscribe someone else" link on the right hand side to add them (if they are not already notified) and then post a rationale for why you added them so that they will be notified with that rationale.

Assigning a ticket to a person is a much stronger signal and can be misinterpreted. Developers assign tickets to themselves when they take responsibility for actually fixing a bug, and this will signal to other developers that they don't need to look into the matter. I don't mind when you assign me a ticket that you want me to look into, and in quieter times I will probably give them higher priority. I receive notifications for all tickets and at the moment I am not prioritizing my work through the tracker at all, just going ticket after ticket in my inbox. Assignment may be counter-productive under these conditions. I will leave it up to Harry to decide if he wants to de-assign himself.
