It might be helpful for a maintainer to issue a policy > statement (preferably clearly recognizable as such) about this. Bug reports linked to transient problems (e.g, bootstrap problems) should not go to the bug tracker. Any other bug report which you want people to attend to eventually should go to the bug tracker (where it's more difficult to let them disappear). Stefan
