When I file a bug report with the Flyspray web interface, why can't I specify the package it concerns? Having that option should make it possible for the package maintainers to be immediately and automatically notified of the report.
you seem to be a regular bugzilla user. You can't specify a package because we have a lot of them and somebody has to add them as a project and sucks(it might be a limitation for flyspray)
instead we chose to have some style but not everyone use it.
[packagename] short description
The way it works now seems to be that I have to wait for some generic bug janitor to manually assign my report to the maintainer of the package (correct me if I'm mistaken). For example, I filed a bug report nearly two days ago, but apparently no janitor (or any other maintainer) has looked at it jet, which means all that time is wasted for hardly any reason (and no, I won't specify which bug. It's irrelevant to the issue I'm addressing here.)
I believe the coders among us appreciate efficiency and automation, so maybe we can improve this system?
only if we use bugzilla.
Please don't. Perhaps the package web interface could have a special "Report Bug" which files a bug into flyspray and fills in some of the fields automatically: version, maintainer, proper title template etc. Sander
