[tor-dev] "Not our bug" bugs

[Griffin Boyce]

Hey all,

There have been quite a few bug reports that discuss incompatibility with
various Firefox extensions and with websites. In most cases, I can't 
replicate
these bugs -- either because the extension in question has been patched, 
the
website reported no longer exists, or the issue can't be replicated (which 
could
be due to site updates and past Firefox incompatibility).

Occasionally, the issue is real and still in effect, but isn't really a Tor 
bug
(such as #7279, where a forum restricts logins by Tor users). We've all 
worked
very hard to reduce overly-restrictive blacklist policies, but can't be
everything for everyone.

In these cases, I'd propose rejecting these bugs as either invalid or `not 
a
bug`. These are all varying degrees of "not our bug" or "actually not a bug 
at
all." Open to more thoughts on this.
