Attention, bugs reports are now rejected !

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Hi guys,

if you're maintaining a package and you haven't created a
Bugzilla product for it, please do so now (to get admin
privs in Bugzilla, please mail bugmaster gnome org).

I just changed the import scripts to reject all bugs if
there is no Bugzilla product for them.

Here's the last version of the auto-reply people will get;
I know a lot of people can write such things much better
and much more polite than me, so feel free to edit this,
it's in GNOME CVS in the halloween module.

===[bugzilla.gnome.org/reject-list.txt]=====
No package corresponding to your bug report was found on 
bugzilla.gnome.org, so your bug report has been rejected.

Our old bug tracking system is currently down due to some
hardware problems and I have no idea how long it will take
to bring it back or whether it'll ever come back at all.

Please contact the maintainer of the package corresponding
to your bug report and ask him what to do with it.

This means that the bug tracking database for the package you
selected has not yet been moved to bugzilla.gnome.org.

Thanks for your patience while we work on migrating the
entire GNOME project to bugzilla.gnome.org. We believe
that bugzilla.gnome.org will offer significant advantages
for our users and developers that are worth some temporary
pain in migration.

Most likely, we have been silently discarding all such bug
reports since about a week or so since bugs.gnome.org is
now gone.

I have no idea what's up with bugs.gnome.org, how long it
will take to bring it back or whether it'll ever come back
at all.

All that I know is that Morten told me that it didn't come
back after a reboot and that he's suspecting hardware and/or
disk problems. He's waiting for Miguel to call the relevant
people in Mexico to get it fixed ....

Since it seems to be down for more than a week now, I think
it's better to reject such bug reports rather than forwarding
them to a no longer working machine.
