I agree, closing bugs , or deleting them, on the grounds that none has comment on them for a very long time is a very bad idea. Pharo has a small crowd of users and I seriously doubt they care much of the bug report process. That does not make a bug any less important though. In the end of the day, it would depend upon on a dev that seriously needs that bug fixed and does it himself. But then the questions arises how many people that find themselves against a bug don't choose curtain number 2 and go around the bug instead of fixing it , since it gets the job done faster. Blender used to have close to 500 bugs ( now it has around 300 ), and it has around 30 monthly commiters with at least 600 commits per month ( https://www.ohloh.net/p/blender <https://www.ohloh.net/p/blender> ). So its not as bad as it seems. About non important bugs, very easy to fix bugs and already solved bugs, I doubt that there are as many as you wish to think :) Bugs are rarely a walk in the park , hence why bug fixing is not a favorite habit :D -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Issue-Tracker-input-of-submitters-bug-fixers-needed-tp...
