Epiphany bugs

["Diego Escalante" <diego aureal com pe>]

Hello everybody,

Thanks to a sleep disorder[3] I'm awake here at 5 a.m., I guess nobody cares.
Anyway, I checked the bugzilla reports and saw that Ephy is the 7th
product with the most unconfirmed bugs[0]. That of course is a bad
thing™.

So, I started to browse the bugs marked as unconfirmed knowing that I
would find a lot of bugs that hasn't been closed or marked as NEW
because they have to be discussed.
My search took me to the deepest and darkest of gnome's bugzilla, I
decided the bugs I found under 5 piles:

- Flameable: Stuff that might need to be discussed or stuff that needs
a dictatorial yes or no.
- Obsoleted by nud: Bugs related to download manager. This bugs will
be obsoleted in 2.18 if matusalehm is integrated in this development
cycle, if there's no matusalehm for 2.18 some of this bugs have
patches (well only #337936 if I'm not wrong) or might be easily
killeable.
- Easy: Bugs that can be easily resolved or that maybe can be marked
as gnome-love.
- Weird: Stuff that made me hide behind my chair
- Rotting: Old bugs that maybe doesn't apply anymore or that can be
fixed easily but couldn't in the past.

I didn't intend to make this list a mail but the idea came to me while
I was doing it.
I hope it's useful as a guide/death list so we can take Ephy out of
the UNCONFIRMED list and in the process make the yellow number in the
Weekly Bug Summary[1] a green one.
