2006-09-18 08:20:56 William Grant description As a member of Ubuntu's MOTU Science team, I try to triage bugs in the science-related package. However, it is non-trivial to do so, as the only way of getting bugs for packages the team is a bug contact for is +packagebugs, and that is almost entirely useless with a large number of packages. There is no way to sort by any of the bug numbers, and no way to filter anything. If I want to see packages with bugs, I have to search manually through the list looking for a line which isn't entirely zeros. It's incredibly inefficient. For an example, see https://launchpad.net/people/motuscience/+packagebugs, and try to do something useful with that page. It's not easy.

2007-04-02 13:20:06 Björn Tillenius malone: statusexplanation It's now possible to search for a bug contact's bug using the advanced search, which is basically the same as using +packagebugs. I still think that +packagebugs should be improved to provide better filtering from that page as well, but it's not as important anymore, so I'm dropping the priority slightly.
