There |is no patch, and it is dogwash priority for everybody to make one." Ok, now I know. In the future I'll be less intent on investigating and logging detailed PRs for bugs in less trafficed areas since they could just be closed. This is different from the style of bug tracking I'm used to. That is, if the bug is low enough priority it hasn't bubbled to the top, fine. But it still stays in the database until its fixed or the software is removed. This open PR state info is useful for record keeping and searches. For example, if someone decides to rewrite or rework a software enditem, they would certainly like to know the full set of open problems exist on that software. Or if someone is looking for an area to contribute that'll make the biggest difference, they might like to see how many PRs are outstanding on the candidate enditems. |Why don't you take a stab at fixing it yourself ? If you send us a patch |bugs like this are likely to get fixed. If it bubbles to the top of my priority, I will. As a workaround, I just ignore the PID file since it's existance can't be counted on so this isn't too high a priority.
