Code freeze is 13 days away.

Too many bugs on your plate?
Not enough bugs on your plate?

We're trying to use the 'helpus' keyword as a mechanism for flagging 
bugs that could use new owners. If you have a bug that you think someone 
else might be able to help with, add the helpus keyword to the bug. If 
you are looking for bugs to fix, try looking at the helpus bugs:

http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/buglist.cgi?product=Chandler&keywords=helpus&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&target_milestone=0.5+Release

Note that these bugs are not always easy fixes -- some of them are 
indeed 'scary'. If they are on the .5 list, it's worth spending some 
quality time trying to fix them.

If you want to be the new owner, assign yourself to the bug.

If you have a fix for a bug and you don't have commit privileges, you 
can attach a patch to the bug and the owner can be responsible for 
getting it into the tree.

Cheers,
Katie
