The recent bug blitz
I too share the positive feelings about this effort. The detailed explanations clearly helps me learn, regardless of the fact that sometimes the answer is not the desired one. It keeps up my spirit to collaborate, especially on those that I submitted some time ago. Thank you very much Tomas!

Maybe others will share in my astonishment seeing that Tomas Kalibera has since Aug 1 closed ~80 bugs on R's Bugzilla, in all cases providing quite thoughtful and instructive explanation. I've learned quite a bit keeping up with his comments this month, notably from closures whose resolution was *not* FIXED, as those provided guidance about what issues, while valid, may not be a good use of developer time or worth additional complexity, maintenance, etc. https://bugs.r-project.org/buglist.cgi?chfield=bug_status&chfieldfrom=2025-08-01&chfieldto=2025-08-31&chfieldvalue=CLOSED&email3=tomas.kalibera%40gmail.com&emaillongdesc3=1&emailtype3=substring&list_id=44555 A huge effort, clearly, so thanks very much, Tomas - and apologies if you would have preferred to continue your work in obscurity ... For anyone feeling inspired, there is a nice blog post about how users can help to review open bug reports https://blog.r-project.org/2019/10/09/r-can-use-your-help-reviewing-bug-reports/index.html which links to this helpful article about writing good bug reports https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html Mikael
