Oh, the bug patterns you've written!  I even had to write some code to
deal with all the bug patterns.  I really appreciate this work.

This looks fine and I agree with the importance you would give it.

Forwarding bugs upstream is very helpful (fixing them even better),
thanks for doing that.  Low seems like the most appropriate importance

This seems fine and I agree with a High importance here.

Another bug forwarded upstream - great!  I agree with the importance
here.

This looks great too.

You've done some great work and I'd be happy to have you as a member of
the Bug Control team.  So this is a +1 from me too.  Thanks for helping
