Ok so mybe the fix-me/stub/unimplemented bugs category is a really bad idea but we are having diffrent opinions on the more general idea of using metabugs as categories...
Hi Hatky, I appreciate the energy you're bringing to the wine project!
That said, it might be a good idea for you to tread lightly at least at first in the winehq bugzilla. Like you, I just started contributing to a bugzilla (OpenOffice's), and the guys there are probably as nervous about me messing with their bugzilla as I am about you messing around in Wine's bugzilla! So I'm being cautious, and instead of creating a metabug right off the bat, I created some canned queries and links to bugs on my own web site (http://www.kegel.com/openoffice/) to try out my ideas first. And when the openoffice qa mailing list folks say "yeah, go ahead and create a metabug", I will - but one at a time, and gently.
Anyway, don't let me slow you down. Just remember that bug tracking is a social issue, and you have to pay attention to how the other developers feel about it.
Cheers, Dan
