Understood.  But the operating efficiency of bugzilla is not the only
consideration here.  We could make it harder for internal supporters of
maemo within Nokia to obtain funding and other benefits for the community.

I have.  But it's probably going to take more than a few weeks because of
the holidays and Nokia is responding slowly these days regarding maemo.  So
please wait to take action based on an affirmative decision rather than
based on inaction (even though a few weeks is ordinarily enough time).
