Sysadmin requests

My blog rate has dropped significantly. That’s caused by the fact that microblogging is much more accessible. It’s short and to the point. So, the Midi (or Maxi?) blogs are now reserved for longer or more important blogs I guess.

I’ve a couple of points I want to Midi blog about, for example a view about PIM in the future, or how I hate that everyone tells everyone how bad 4.0.0 was. Maybe something I will do soon, although I better leave the second topic alone, better for my health I guess.

So, now back to subject. Matt Rogers has created a special sysadmin ‘product’ in bugzilla. Bugs reported against this will end up on sysadmins plate. This way we can quickly assign a certain sysadmin to the task or include other KDE contributors in the conversation. Also we have a quick and accurate view about pending issues, something that tends to get lost in a mailbox quickly.

The bugs are not public, due to the fact that sometimes passwords are in there or sysadmin internals, and we don’t want them to show up in regular bugzilla searches either.

So, if you have a request for sysadmin, like mailinglists, acls, kde email changes, or whatever, consider reporting a bug instead of writing a mail. The special page for it is at: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_sysadmin_request.cgi. This bypasses the regular questions about your distro, version, etc..

Thanks to Matt for working on this feature!
