[snip] How does everyone handle this issue themselves?
When subscribed to the user and/or devel mailing list, I report the bug
to that list and most of the times I'm not willing to subscribe to a
bugtracker, it depends to the kind of project, for larger projects, such
as desktop environments a mailing list can't replace a bugtracker
completely.
I try to pick out software where a coder or coders act after writing a
bugreport to the mailing list. For Linux audio I suspect Rui is the
coder who does fix bugs the fastest after receiving a report, so my
sequencer of choice is Qtractor.
That reminds me of another issue. Among other contributions I had to
drop translation of Qtractor for perhaps around a year now, because I
suffer from hardware issues, that I couldn't fix myself until now.
Hardware/driver issues make use of my time more than I can use the
computer and more than I can contribute and I guess I'm not the only
one.
