Bug wranglers
Now there are 3 bug wranglers for half a year or so.
But most reports dont get assigned anymore. Its up to the maintainer to find the ones that interest him, or *ideally* (the way things work today) some developer will get interested in it and he will assign it or solve it himself.
Lets see an example. epdfview 0.1.7 got released a while ago. the package has already been built 3 times, and i have opened a feature request to include documentation the first time it got updated.
Since then it has been rebuilt 2 times, but the documentation hasnt been included yet cause the maintainer of the package doesnt know the existance of the request.
I guess that means users will have to download it a 4th time when the request will be implemented.
Any chance things can improve on that area?
Its annoying to both users and developers. Reports should get assigned the same, or the next day or so. The flyspray is a huge mess and the Bug Day didnt really improve things much.

Re: Bug wranglers
Bug Day didnt really improve things much.
Closing ~1/6th of the bugs surely helped a bit...

Re: Bug wranglers
The bugs closed were mostly "solved by a rebuild" ones.
Current status of flyspray says:
609 open bugs
293 of which are unconfirmed bugs
Which is 1/2 of them. I assume not all are unassigned are not being monitored by the maintainers of the packages etc but most are.
