Being somewhat overwhelmed at the moment, I read this quickly as
"maintains itself," and thought that would be pretty neat.
Back on earth, and speaking with no inside knowledge, I have the
impression someone has to spend a lot of time removing R bug reports
that really never should have been admitted into the repository.
Since this is a wish list, it would be nice if there were a system to
allow reports to sit in a temporary "unconfirmed bug reports" area where
all users could add comments like "confirmed in R-patched on zzz,"
"works in Linux," "fixed in R-devel," "here is a work around," "here is
a patch," "this is a FAQ," or "read the documentation." Then some
volunteer or the package maintainer would occasionally need to sort
these, but a lot more of the work would be done by the larger R community.
