We want to move more of the processes (like the one below) out to the wider bug triage community so that all the bug zappers have a view into what we are doing on the infrastructure front.
I'm open for ways we should do this... maybe the time has come for our own mailing list? Attendance at our IRC meetings has been thin and I'm not sure why that is. I'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism on how we should do meetings differently.
Below is a draft of the ticket I'm going to file with Red Hat Engineering Operations (aka Eng Ops) to auto-close Fedora 7 bugs when it goes EOL in a few weeks. Now my secret is out... this is "the bot" everyone loves ;-)
If you have any proposed changes to the text please reply to the list by 2008-05-26 and then I'll transfer the final version to the wiki and file with Eng Ops.
Thanks for reading, John

I notice many builds PENDING for F7 updates which aren't released yet. Can we poke the maintainers to push these out before EOL? I'm running a couple koji builds now (I forget why it was so long ago) and they *STILL* aren't in the updates repo.

Noticed this a bit late while searching for another message, but if it hasn't happened yet, perhaps: "Fedora 7 went to" => "Fedora 7 changed to" {=> "Fedora 7 was changed to" } maybe ?
"Fedora 7 will no longer maintained or receive updates" => "Fedora 7 will no longer be maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates."
