Hi all, I noticed today that a crasher bug in nautilus was causing a lot of duplicate reports from Debian squeeze users. I have backported the fix that was in the git tree to 2.30 for our next point release, but there was no way for me to know this was happening; I noticed it by luck by skimming nautilus-list. I think it would be better for everyone if we could be warned when a distribution package causes an avalanche of bug reports upstream. Often these bugs are not reported downstream, especially for applications like gnome-panel and nautilus which just restart after crashing. With our stable releases lasting 2 years, that can mean 2 years of crashers piling up. I don’t know if mechanisms could be set up to make it easier, but at least don’t hesitate to file a bug downstream (or use any other communication channel) when this happens. Thanks, -- .''`.
