I had always wondered what happened when I filed bug reports…

[15:47] [zack] except bugs don't die on their own, unfortunately :(
[15:47] [arioch] sure they do
[15:47] [arioch] they get NMU'd
[15:48] [arioch] or something surfaces and they're magically fixed
[15:48] [arioch] years down the road
[15:48] [zack] well someone still has to close the report
[15:49] [arioch] the best is when you bump a bug upstream
[15:49] [arioch] because it appears you're dealing with it
[15:49] [arioch] but in reality, nobody here OR upstream cares
[15:49] [arioch] in some cases, you may be both the packager AND upstream
[15:49] [arioch] so it's added irony
