But bug tracking is for users as well as developers. Please keep that in mind when setting the policy. It is not only about who does the bug-tracking mundane work. Or at least it should not be (IMHO). > FWIW, I see no harm at all in retitling, and I do see a certain > value in having the title express the essence of the bug report. And do you see such a policy as the general practice elsewhere? What others do elsewhere need not limit or guide us, but it can sometimes help to look over the fence.
