EDIT: At the request of an @maemo.org person (name withheld to protect the guilty), I've also posted this summary to the maemo developers' mailing list.

Well, it has taken some time, but Nokia has hired Andre Klapper and Karsten Bräckelmann, two experienced "bugmasters", to improve the Bugzilla situation. The two will be working part time each to achieve the equivalent of one full-timer.

Andre, already, is certainly saying the right things.

Ha . . . I hadn't realized how busy I'd been this week. It's amazing how much old stuff that's been fixed for a while still hadn't been closed.

On that note, it'd be good if we could get some people together to go over all the old bug reports with a fine-toothed comb whenever Diablo finally hits and pick out all the ones that have been fixed and either resolve them themselves (if they've got editbugs—talk to Andre or Karsten if you believe you really deserve it) or toss them over to me or somebody else with editbugs. There's a lot of old bugs lying around that have been fixed that are just jamming up the works sitting there unresolved.

Also, I'm on to you sjgadsby! Splitting up your list into two posts . . . what a "Thanks!" whore!

Stephen deserves a device discount for all this work.

Hey, you confirmed, closed, and otherwise updated some of my submissions, so I'm happy. Thanks.

You might also want to consider talking to Andre/Karsten/timeless about at least canconfirm if not editbugs.

I think this bugs are fixed:

Please support vertical scrolling by dragging in mail window (Even in the chinook betas).

OS2008 applications menu open or close inconsistently (I haven't seen this in Diablo-20, while it always happens in chinook).

Application Manager updates/refreshes entire app list even if an install is canceled.. (This is fixed in diablo).

GA, could you mark it as fixed (if they are fixed)?
