Right. This is:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

as John says, it's been around for a while. Both John and I have tried
to drive it to some extent. But it just doesn't get a lot of people who

boring and generally not much use to the person doing the work
him/herself, directly, contributes to this.
