[+] robbo@programming.dev -7 points 3 months ago (5 children) maybe he will finally stop using a fucking mailing list then permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] peterhorvath@mastodon.de 3 points 3 months ago (4 children) @robbo @cm0002 That would be only the form. The amount of tasks to process would not change. His mailing software has very likely a tree view or so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] qaz@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children) It would make it easier for people to find if a bug has already been reported, which is what Torvalds mentions as being a problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] dafta@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago* The mailing list for security vulnerabilities is private, in order to keep zero days a secret before they are patched. This is the issue, not the mailing list. Moving away from mailing lists wouldn't solve this because the vulnerabilities would still have to be private. permalink fedilink source parent [–] peterhorvath@mastodon.de 0 points 3 months ago (1 child) @qaz That is right! Looks they need a bugtracker, ideally a bugtracker integrated with the mailing list. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] qaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago Well, they already use Bugzilla. Although I personally do not find it particularly intuitive to use. permalink fedilink source parent
