Re: "Won't Fix" candidates

 

As far as I know users not admin for the kicad project or not part of the
kicad bug squad team or kicad-product-committers
<https://launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers> can not change priority
or assignee, and possibly a sligtly limited set of statuses.

In the bug squad team there are three people I do not recognize. Maybe it
is time to remove them, if they are not active anymore, and add other
people who cares about the bug tracker.

The inactive ones being:
V Bruce Hunt (no kicad bug activity at all)
Greg Hicks (no kicad bug activity at all)
Stephen Eaton (latest bug comment around late 2010)
