You can wax eloquent about the many eyes theory all you want... i
really dont care about the theory of whether or not you should be
holding all the discussions in the mailinglist. I made my comment on
the grounds of practicality. Both the packager and reviewer are
communicating in bugzilla.. you are not. If you want to effect change
in a timely manner you will have to take the comments to either the
packager at some point.  There is absolutely no garuntee that the
packager is watching the mailing list threads closely. If you want to
make the best effort possible to make sure the packager gets this
minor packaging issue fixed before he requests the first build.. you
will most likely need to submit a comment directly to bugzilla. Please
by all means use the mailing list to discuss the issue..but if you
discuss it for too long without making your best effort to contact the
packager via bugzilla, you'll miss your opportunity to get this fixed
before the first package build.
