Bugzilla - 2nd call for package maintainers

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

Hi guys,

there are already several products / components in Bugzilla, but
we're still lacking a lot of them. So if you're maintaining a package,
please go ahead and create the Bugzilla product and components for
it (make sure that each package must have at least a "general" component).

Please do also checkout the halloween module from GNOME CVS and edit
the following files in the bugzilla.gnome.org subdirectory:

        alias-map.txt
        maint-aliases.txt
        version-map.txt
        reject-list.txt

I disallowed the `general' product in the reject-list.txt this afternoon
so there must be an entry in the alias-map.txt for each of Bugzilla's
products.

In future, bug reports for packages which already have Bugzilla products
will go directly and only to Bugzilla, so it's very important to get a
working alias-map.txt as soon as possible.

Another thing which needs to be done is the reject-list.txt; especially
people from Ximian and Eazel should have a look at this file, it is used
to reject bug reports for some packages and send people an auto-reply.

This will be used for all products which already have their own bugtracker
somewhere else, for instance bugzilla.ximian.com or bugzilla.eazel.com.

Currently, all bugs for the `general' product are rejected as well; please
don't change this until we have the alias-map.txt and the reject-list.txt
done or they'll quickly fill up Bugzilla with junk rather than going to
debbugs.

As a last work, all you email folks can now send a message with subject
"help" to control bugzilla gnome org to get the usage instructions for
the email interface .....

Thanks for any help,
