What do you mean with this sentence?

The scope of http://bugs.maemo.org is and will be the Maemo platform.
The usefulness of a bug tracker is related to the possibility that people have to fix bugs that are reported there. MeeGo thus poses certain problems - will Nokia-maintained Maemo components continue to be maintained by Nokia in the coming months & years? If not, will the community be able to fix bugs & package new images? If not, why accept bug reports in the Maemo bug database?

This is what I meant - what does the project (and the organisation of Bugzilla) need to look like in a few months, esp. if no-one from Nokia is fixing Maemo bugs any more?

When it comes to the platform and apps developed by Nokia, the continuity will be defined by the Maemo 5 maintenance releases. We will need to find a way to move forward to MeeGo the relevant reports not addressed in Maemo. There are several categories of reports based on the components they relate to:

- OSS components also maintained in MeeGo: should they find their way to http://bugs.meego.com ? And additional factor to consider is that even if the components are the same, in the Harmattan timeframe they will differ in packaging and perhaps this have further implications. This needs to be discussed in the MeeGo context as well.

- OSS components not maintained in MeeGo: either they move forward as MeeGo community projects or they will get out of scope somehow.

- Proprietary components common in Maemo 5 and MeeGo releases from Nokia. As I see it, the MeeGo Devices team at Nokia and the community really need to find a common agreement on these. They are the most problematic when it comes to address Bug 630 Increased Bugzilla transparency - get the developers involved!. Maybe we should remove them from any Bugzilla and place them in a different context for gathering user feedback and testing. Nokia Pilots comes to mind. I need to check with the owners of these components. If you have opinions please waive them out here.
I see that you understood what I meant

Your various questions (what happens to Maemo bugs in components that are also part of the MeeGo stack, that aren't part of the MeeGo stack, bugs in proprietary components, and can we enable the community to continue maintainership of Harmattan) are exactly the questions that are difficult to answer in the context of Bugzilla.

Cheers,
Dave.
