Incredible, but true. A few hours after committing the ebuilds for the latest KDEBluetooth release, we received a 0-day bump request. Seriously, we appreciate a lot that you notify us if we forget to bump a package, but please, please, don't fill 0-day bump requests. Give us two or three days after the release date before filling a bump request. Most of the times we are aware of the releases and receiving bump requests delay us: it's counterproductive. The worse is when you do not even give us a single blessed day to bump the ebuild, and it's even worse if you request a 0-day bump without even updating your tree. And please, think of kittens!

I think it's sort of like the "first post" phenomenon on Slashdot and I don't think you'll ever get people to stop doing it. I can't think of how to relieve the symptoms, other than adding more bug wranglers to spread the pain.

I think that maybe a warning or a nice big notice in bugzilla might help with it.

I dunno about you, but I think that picture is why they're filing 0-day bump requests. That thing looks pretty ugly.
