Star 'Why I've Stopped Reporting Bugs to Ubuntu'

Until Ubuntu's bug management culture starts to change, people like me, who can actually help make Ubuntu better, will be less and less likely to contribute."

These issues don't just affect One person.


I did. Most of them only had trouble reports from the blog guy.

At any rate, quibbling over what is essentially anecdotal evidence is of limited value. Most distros use some sort of formal bug tracking system, so it should be possible for someone who wanted to wade through it all to publish a meta-analysis of how well each distro does in resolving issues. Yes, it would be exceedingly messy, and the results would be fuzzy. (I'm not volunteering!) But surely anything is better than following random people's blog postings.

Actually, we're both wrong.

As far as I can see, there are 6 launchpad bugs linked by the article. 3 bugs are only reported by the author, the other three have multiple independant confirmations.

So, it's a 50/50 situation.
