Comments? Also, I would like a ruling on my earlier proposal http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/214799 that we send an email to the OP both when it gets put into blead and when the release comes out. This would allow people to get early access to fixed-code if they have the skills and inclination. Also, every template we create should have something like "Thank you for reporting this" as near to the top of the reply as makes sense.Thread Previous | Thread Next
