I'll do so :-)

Ehr, I've changed that to 'please_try_with_newer_gnome'.. but bug-buddy
won't catch that... especially as that was released. Forgot to have
something like that added to 2.22 (until too late).

Does it really matter? Yes, would be nice.. but ideally I want the whole
method to be different.. Bugzilla 3.0+.. require user/password for that.
Otherwise crash.gnome.org for non-debug things. But I don't see that
happening any time soon.
