There is no current state, well martin made some code which is in /include on pearweb, but it has to be changed a lot I guess, never looked at it. > >> HЮ> Actually iirc that it had been accepted by devs to open that list, but > >> HЮ> we haven't still seen that list started :) > >> HЮ> Maybe that's something that we should push for again ? > >> It is so hard to make it? =) Then maybe it worth spend time to setup > >> bug reporting mechanizm for this list until a proper ML is opened. > HЮ> Well actually we had it like that in the past, and it maybe to much buzz > HЮ> on this list really, at least too much for some devs liking. > HЮ> Regarding the hard part, dunno since it's not in our hands to make lists > HЮ> :-) > > A little excursion into the thread past.

No we being the web team, since we deal with account requests and such (In the programming sense), those who control the lists are some PHP sys admins, we have emailed many many times about getting some better spam protection on pear-cvs, never got no answer, so you can imagen how it is about asking for pear-bugs, the fact is that people are doing this for free, so we just can't expect for people to be around 24/7 nor anything like that. - Helgi
