'''Requirement proposal''': After clicking bugtracker link, you can start filing a bug right away or just after clicking one link at maximum at the page that opens. --[[User:ossipena|ossipena]] 09:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

'''Requirement proposal''': When Bugtracker link is not supplied default bugtracker is used. Default bugtracker is packages interface itself, or maintainer mail address. This way QA time can be reduced in some cases by weeks when Bugtracker field shaping is not needed. --[[User:mikkov|mikkov]] 08:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

''Come on! I think maemo.org runs mostly on PHP code not magic. Most important thing here is there should be a default bugtracker for all packages like in any other big distro. --[[User:mikkov|mikkov]] 10:27, 3 March 2010 (UTC)''

Are you serious? creating a bugtracker takes couple minutes, putting your email to correct configuration file when packaging takes couple seconds. It is same rules for everyone, why others must do it and you don't? --[[User:ossipena|ossipena]] 10:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Developers:

  • They are notified when a bug is found in their applications
