Those would be the wrong names, since the final version of 1.1 is going to
be 1.2.

Also, I don't know what email you are talking about. Maybe you mean some bug
change notifications that you expected me to respond to? I don't have any
email marked for followup.

The milestone and keyword redundancy we currently have is kind of silly. For
example, the 1.1.x milestone is currently completely redundant with the
GNOME2 keyword -- I haven't been trying to set milestones since you have
been triaging bug. I don't think that it makes sense to have both when we
aren't using them differently. The 1.0.x milestone has a poorly chosen set
of bugs that don't really represent a plan for a release. The "future"
milestone was my way of marking bugs as "looked at, no need to tackle them
for the Gnome 2 release", but you are using "triaged and not GNOME2" for
that purpose.

I guess in summary, the current milestones aren't doing much good since you
aren't able to use them, because you needed something that worked across
products.

It would be helpful to more clearly distinguish new incoming bug reports for
Nautilus 1 from Nautilus 2, and the version field isn't working well for
that. Perhaps we should try what Alex suggests.
