Actually, I'd like to thank Walter for taking the time to go through the bugs like this. It's long overdue. It's time consuming and not fun to do, but it sorely needs to be done - and much of it needs to be done by Walter, since his input is required on much of it.

I understand that this may be frustrating to those in IRC, but it's a temporary thing which will greatly improve the overall situation with bugzilla. And then it'll probably be back to the status quo with regards to how many messages you're seeing in IRC.

Jonathan, Swiftly closing them is causing real pain for some of us.
 Certainly he could fix them and keep a log of the ones he fixed then
actually close, say, 3 a day on bugzilla so it wouldn't be so noisy.

Couldn't resist,

Considering that what's doing is primarily focused on commenting and potentially closing bugs, not necessarily fixing them, it wouldn't make any sense to keep track of it himself and then go back later to actually comment on them and potentially close them. It would be the same as slowing down what he's doing over a much longer period. And 3 a day would be insanely slow in comparison to what he's actually doing. I'm sure that it's much more effective for him to just do it all now and move on.

I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to deal with it. It won't last long, and it needs to be done.

The IRC chaps could send me a couple bottles of Scotch, that'd slow things down a mite. Single malt, please!

I was referring to Jonathan's seeming inability to get the joke. :P
