I simply don't like this idea, there is enough bugzilla noise and
enough bureaucracy (read: obstacles) for anyone wanting to
contribute (yes, even just clicking +1/-1 karma is a valuable
contribution ...)
- is this opinion worth 0.02€? :-)
btw, reading the subject line, at first I understood it in a way
that a negative karma comment will be mirrored into bugzilla
comment of the appropriate bug _if it exists_
that would be good, IMO
note that *I* do updates based on
- fixing actual bugs
- "fixing" bugs reported by updates monitoring
so at least one bug exists for each update
this may vary for different packages & contributors ...

Just bringing this topic to the appropriate mailing list
On the last kernel meeting [1] it was suggested negative karma
points should be linked to a reported bug which kinda makes
sense if you think about it.
What that means is that you ( as in reporter ) will no longer
be able to provide negative karma without linking it to an
already existing bug report either created by your or someone
else if that came to be.
Now this has been discussed and rejected before by Fesco here
[2].
From my point of view FESCO should not be sticking their nose
in this topic since I think it's up to ourselves ( the QA
community ) to decide whether we want to implement this or not
hence I posted this here to this list for further discussion.
I myself give +1 to implement this since give negative feedback
without linking to an already existing bug report helps no
one.
There was also mentioned on the meeting that reporters seem to
be giving negative karma for bugs that never where mentioned
getting fixed in the updates.
Doing this is a big NO NO since this will lead to fixes for
bugs that got mentioned being fixed in the update not reaching
our end user base because of that negative karma so I'm gonna
ask reporters that did that to stop doing that.
Thanks
JBG
