Bagas, why did you start forwarding these bugs by mail yourself again
after we had agreed you forward them to me, so I can handle it from there?

Yes, you forwarded that particular bug to me a few days ago and I didn't
do anything. But that was on purpose: I usually wait at least two
working days before doing so, as some subsystem are active in bugzilla
and might feel annoyed by starting a separate thread on the mailing list.

Side note: you also apparently make it not obvious enough that you are
just forwarding the bug, as both here and in the other bug your
forwarded today the developer apparently thought it was a bug you face.

Please lets avoid all of that again and switch back to the model we
agreed on a few months ago.

Side note: you should not assume every developer has a BZ account (or is
willing to create one).

Ciao, Thorsten
