I personally really prefer comments in bugs over needinfo (which seems
"pushy" to me? I am not sure why, but I think of needinfo as a
escalation over just adding a comment. Sort of a 'hey! you never
answered me, and I NEED INFO NOW'.
Well yes, they are "pushy" but to me that's the whole point. To be fair, I will ask in a comment first, but if I don't get a response after a week or two (for low priority stuff) then I'll do a NEEDINFO. It's way to easy to ignore/gloss over BZ emails so sometimes something more direct is needed.
Thanks,
RichardÂ
