Jan? I thought Brad (Pure Magic) hosted Bugzilla?

Speaking of which, how about bugs.dlang.org? Should be a painless migration with a proper redirect.

We have http://issues.dlang.org which Brad needs to get to. I pinged him for the fourth time just now.

What about fixing compile-time reflection?

There is the notorious case

static if(!is(typeof(e))) enum f = true;
static if(!is(typeof(f))) enum e = true;

and many like it. Sometimes, compilation of the same program where source files are passed on the command line in a different order influences the behaviour of the produced executable.

BTW Andrei,

According to Brad, if you want to increase users' vote quota or allow users to assign more than one vote per issue to better inform BountySource, it's up to you to do it.

I'm sorry.  More trivial distractions that could easily delegated if the right person had authority.

Fantastic. I raised the number of votes per user to 20.

What about multiple votes per issue, so users can quantify the importance of an issue relative to others?

The main reason I didn't make any changes is there was no decided on policy for what to change it to.  I was fine with the 10 votes 1 per bug setting (and was a part of the long ago discussion that lead to that value).  A nebulous 'change it please' is a pointless bug report and I don't own the policy.

I'd be okay with allowing a user to manage voting budget as they find fit. What do others think?

Only 20? :-(  I was hoping to vote on all AA bugs...
