<PRE>Le vendredi 9 septembre 2011 07:43:12, andre999 a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Samuel Verschelde a &#233;crit :
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The maintainer can refuse to do the backport :
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; - doesn't want to maintain it =&gt;   assign the bug report back to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">bugsquad at mageia.org</A> so that another packager can step in
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; - has a good reason for not providing this backport (policy, possible
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; breakage...) =&gt;   close as wontfix
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> It would be a good idea to require giving the reason why refused, for
</I>&gt;<i> clarity. (e.g. &quot;Don't intend to maintain&quot; or &quot;Will conflict with version
</I>&gt;<i> 123 of xyz&quot;, or whatever.)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>
Yes, it was implicit, but better say it explicitly.
