Hi, folks —
Many here know that upstream bugs from launchpad get replicated to
'qemu-devel'. But the catch is that it only happens if you _also_ have
an account on Launchpad with the same email address with which you're
replying on the list. This is easy to forget.
So a QEMU developer without a Launchpad account might give a detailed
response to a bug on the list. But the bug reporter isn't subscribed to
the list (which is fine; and is expected behaviour).
<... a few weeks later ... >
The bug reporter thinks: "no one responded to my bug". Meanwhile, the
detailed comment from the developer is languishing on the list.
PS: I recall there was discussion on the list of moving to a different
GitLab tracker. As Thomas Huth mentioned on IRC, more people seem
to have account on GitLab than on Launchpad.
