- If you have fixed a bug, enclose it with <s></s> tags.
- Developers should make sure that, in the dashboard, they are listed as maintainer for both arches (i686 and x86_64) for the package they maintain.
- Ensure bugs are assigned to the right person (package maintainers do change sometimes).
- Ensure bugs are in the right top-level project (Release Engineering, Pacman, etc.).
- If fixes are provided for some bugs, please test and report them as fixed.
