Ken,

Thanks, that make sense - so basically, each category has (or can have) a 
responsible person, who does get a notice (is that an email?) when any issue 
is assigned to that category, is that correct? If so, that is exactly what I 
had in mind. I did not mean to say we should have a special treatment for 
release-specific bugs such that "this package does has error in 3.9". My 
wording was bad, I  actually ment to say everything should be reported and 
handled like any other bug within Mantis (rather than use other mechanism), 
just was not sure the reponsible person does get a notification.
