[$] Bug-monitoring expectations and Fedora GNOME packages

Date:
Mon, 04 May 2026 14:59:29 +0000

Description:
For a number of years, users submitting bugs reports against GNOME packages
in Fedora have
received an auto-reply saying that the reports were not actively
monitored; users were encouraged to file bugs with GNOME upstream instead. However,
that practice seems to be in conflict with the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) policy that package maintainers " deal with reported bugs
in a timely manner ". On
April 28, FESCo discussed the disconnect between practice and policy; so far, it has only opted to tweak the wording of the automatic response.
