Hi Carol,

Don't take it in a negative way, but your message sounds like an
obvious troll.  Maybe I should have ignored it, but I hope that my
response can clear some misunderstandings.

This would not make much sense.  In about two weeks (hopefully), the new
web site will become www.gimp.org so this will be a non-issue.

The list of web-related bug reports is not that big anyway.  Also, all
bugs reported in the last weeks are related to the new site, so it is not
that difficult to find the relevant ones.

This is your opinion, but you are wrong.  The message on the home page
of www.gimp.org encourages everybody to look at mmmaybe and to report
bugs to Bugzilla (using the component www.gimp.org).  Ignoring these
bug reports would be counter-productive.  Seriously, if you want to
contribute and help the new site to be ready for the launch, please
take a look at the bugs marked for www.gimp.org.
