[21:04] <arand_> What are all these people/bots assigning themselves to bugs willy-nilly?
[21:06] <bdmurray> do you have an example?
[21:07] <TheLordOfTime> what bdmurray said
[21:10] <arand> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tasksel/+bug/574287
[21:10] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 574287 in tasksel (Ubuntu) "tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[21:11] <bdmurray> the person who assigned it to themselves has very low karma so I'd guess it is user error
[21:11] <arand> The last one just now was the fourth time it happened for that particular bug.
[21:12] <arand> I've always thought it's bots trying to farm karma for credibility or something...
[21:22] <TheLordOfTime> bdmurray, should i be concerned that there's one person throwing a bunch of bugs into the system asking for updates from upstream for various software?
[21:22] <TheLordOfTime> (see latest -bugs-announce batch)
[21:23] <TheLordOfTime> well, just before latest batch...
[21:27] <bdmurray> well the bugs are kind of waste since I imagine they be synced in anyways
[21:27] <bdmurray> and probably won't get auto closed
[22:58] <lfaraone> bdmurray: you removed bugcontrol from ubuntu-bugs?
[23:03] <bdmurray> lfaraone: yes, ubuntu-bugs was just used to get bug mail to the ubuntu-bugs mailing list and ubuntu-bugs was the bug supervisor for ubuntu so this could happen.  However, this was no longer necessary so the bug supervisor for Ubuntu was made ubuntu-bugcontrol.
[23:03] <bdmurray> and ubuntu-bugs is just used for the mailing list now.
[23:04] <lfaraone> bdmurray: ah, so the description on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugs is dated
[23:05] <bdmurray> lfaraone: yes, I'll remove the wrong bits
[23:06] <TheLordOfTime> okay, glad i read here...
[23:06] <TheLordOfTime> i was panicking a minute there when i saw the email... xD
[23:06] <bdmurray> I'll reply to that email then.
[23:11] <hggdh> on the "please update..." -- I just closed bug 1178820 as a waste of time
[23:11] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1178820 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "Update to 8.21" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1178820
[23:13] <bdmurray> hggdh: maybe a wiki page link on the sync process would be helpful for them
[23:13] <TheLordOfTime> probably a good idea.
[23:15] <hggdh> bdmurray: indeed, I will do it in a few, have to clean up the barbecue machine right now
[23:17] <bdmurray> hggdh: isn't that called a grill?
[23:18] <hggdh> bdmurray: it was. Right now there is a long list of things to get in there, so it will be more like an assembly line/machine
[23:19] <bdmurray> hggdh: heh
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> bdmurray, hggdh: any documentation about the autosync process anywhere?
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> so I could perhaps comment on this guy's "Please update x to y" bugs that are probably going to be included in the syncs that happen?
