My followup question was: "is there someone's whose job is to keep track of that?" Mark's job, as you describe it, is triage, not followup. Is it *also* followup? Or has that task not been assigned?
Triage without followup is worthless, so as far as I know they are both components of that job.
Just for the record, this particular issue (en-CA) hasn't gotten a lot of attention from me because, to be honest, en-CA speakers seem happy with en-US and en-GB. And, further, the first bar has been crossed. People with an en-CA preference can make-do with en-US and en-GB.
Are either of those tailored to them exactly? No. But compared with the situation we see amongst, say, Indic scripts, that sort of tailoring seems like a non-issue.
But back to the main point. Brion is right: Triage without followup is worthless. In my experience, Brion has a good feel for this sort of thing and he's been gracious enough to prod me gently when he sees something that needs a bit more follow up when I've missed it.
So, if you see that I'm not following something up, feel free to prod me. Since I dislike prodding, I'll be working hard to avoid it and make sure that I am following up on the bugs that have a higher priority. If you think something should have a higher priority, let me know.
Mark.
