If You Used To Work On Bugzilla And No Longer Do...

[Bill Barry]

I haven't decided to stop working on Bugzilla, but my job 
responsibilities have shifted (and my personal life has ramped up some) 
and I am no longer actively working on it. I haven't looked at my 
bugmail for a while now or really done anything related to it other than 
vote on a bug here or there and read occasional emails with somewhat 
interesting subjects/first paragraphs. I guess that makes me someone who 
used to work on Bugzilla, but no longer does at the moment? I would 
personally put myself into a category of "sleeping on it" rather than 
stopped.

I am sure there are others on this list with the same situation. I 
replied to the list instead of directly to ask if you want those of us 
in this situation to check in as well.
