Hi,

we keep seeing non-actionable bug reports from Ben Tris that look like
this:

People (including me) have been trying to tell him to stop this,
without any reaction.

Please block Ben Tris from filing any new bugs, it's just a waste of
time for maintainers.

Hi Ben, please don't file bugs like this which aren't actionable. If you
find something minor wrong with a package like this, please provide a
patch so that maintainers can see what you think is wrong and how they
should fix it.

It looks like you've closed the non-actionable bugs that you had filed,
so I won't immediately be putting in a block for you, but if it happens
again, I will.

Thanks!

I do not like such maintainers.

I still like the shown example.

Hi Don,

Ben is again actice on the BTS and even after called out by David on
debian-devel and myself in e.g in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=999649#22

They started
to undo the correction on the BTS I made earlier, and wrote me in
private mail to	"Do not fool around with the bugs I make and control",
while clearly not understanding the processes in Debian with often
comments that feel out of place commentary (e.g 994649#29 or 999649#17)

This is repeated behaviour, I had the same experience in September 2023
where I tried to tell Ben about e.g the correct usage of severities for
new upstream release bugs and related topic, after which they mass-
closed their filed bugs (I had the impression this was kind of rage-quit
action...)

Now, they are doing the same thing (filing barely actionable bugs) again
that has been topic of this bug, for example lot of "Missing homepage"
I think it would be appropiate for some cool-down period.

Thanks!

like
you
filed,
happens
right.
