Moving to github has a been a great success, but it lacks a lot of the features of bugzilla (issues.dlang.org) that are important for bug tracking, hence the split. Github, however, is *much* better for reviewing patches.

Fix is in Bugzilla attached, though without an unittest demonstrating the error.

I'm sure you have your reasons. The problem with an attitudes like this is they're a proxy for further and larger difficulties in working with a person. We're shorthanded enough to not pander to such. If you go to any OSS community, each has a way of doing things and can't possibly be accepting of anyone's idiosyncrasies.

There would be a lot more frustration if the tracker didn't exist. It seems you're not willing to look beyond one bug report that's not two months old. There's a lot of activity going on.

Our release czar converted it to a pull request: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2336 You should add unittests to your fix. I've approved this one but the best way to go if you want to be happy in this community is to get over yourself. Andrei
