Hi,
excuse me for this question ;-)
Closing bug report is task for reporter of bug or is not (so leave it resolved and bug will close somebody later?) ?
Thanks
Laco.

It's best if the bug reporter closes it once he's verified that the bug has been fixed. Many people don't do that (maybe we should start asking reporters to do that, like the Lazarus team), so in that case we have to do it.

Is there a polite way for a reporter who's submitted a fix to ping management when the bug's not been assigned to anybody?

You can always ask about it here, or add a "ping" comment to the bug (the latter will put it back at the top of the list of unassigned bugs).

That was intended as a general question more than anything else, but if somebody could pick up my modified serial.pp at 0018946 it would be appreciated.
