+
+Try to delete some of them randomly ?
+
+
+> Agressivily assign bugs to latest package uploader?
+> I am not sure that all packager (for example: ennael 300rpms or dmorgan

+> Firmware, etc.
+> 
+> Maybe we can also create an alias for a group of package ? like
+> gnome3-maint AT groups.mageia.org, kde-maint, drakx-maint, etc.
+
+The problem is not really assigning that having people to fix them.
+And if we do not have the information of who maintain a rpm, having a
+alias will not make the information appear by magic :/
