Re: Re: Developer Seeking To Help

For example, I was looking through session bugs (since that's most likely where I could contribute the easiest) and read a bug #14227. This bug is bogus and is the result of the submitter not understanding HTTP and the Set-Cookie header enough. I would love to be able to act as a mediater of sorts, so that the bogus bugs can be filtered to save developers some time. I can even give elaborate explanations in the beginning to make sure people know why it's bogus. :) 2) If a bug is legitimate, and I know how to fix it, how do I go about doing this? Must I receive permission for a CVS account? How does one gain the trust to be able to commit changes? 3) How do I know if someone is working on a bug? If it is "open" status, can I safely assume it's not been investigated by a member of the PHP development team? Thanks for the information.
