Again: we are talking about a community distro - you, being on this list 
at this time, are "community elite" (smiley). You know, I know whom to 
keep bothering - the average user who finally ends up submitting a bug 
does not: if Mageia has been created, it has been created for the 
community at large. Sure: the user submitting a bug must play his role 
clarifying question, checking issues. That is one point.

The other point is that somewhere in Mageia there needs to be a an 
anchor for "bugzilla awareness" - just not let bugzilla simmer along, 
make sure that bugzilla handling fulfills its job as an essential part 
of Mageia QA. No offense, my experience is that - except during periods 
of release finalisation - it did simmer, at least in the average - even 
if there were some very devoted and expeditive bug assignees. By the 
way, in case Mageia becomes a rolling distribution, also that essential 
period will go away.

I do not suggest a commity, I suggest that this function figures in the 
task recognised as essential, and is somehow pursued - plus some ideas 
how that could be done.
