Dear Release Managers:

Based on this reply by Paul:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/04/msg00065.html

I'd like to request that the severity of the following bugs is raised
to serious again:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1072535

(Reported by Paul as serious, downgraded later by the maintainer)

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057562

(Raised by Sebastian to serious, downgraded later by the maintainer)

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1069402

This is essentially the same as #1057562, except that it's
for gcr version 3 which is in a different package.

Note that both gcr and gcr4 are key packages, so a serious severity
will not make the package to be removed.


In all cases, disabling a flaky test should be easy enough.

A brief explanation for the maintainers that we don't want
flaky tests in trixie would also be nice.

Thanks for your consideration.

what have severities to do with hiding problems?

I hear often the argument that we have lost the knowledge in the EU to be independent from the US. That is disinformation of big tech. All of their "innovation" is based on open source software, often written by public research institutions. When you visit #FOSDEM, you are literally at the hotspot of innovation. That knowledge is all around and open. We just need to pick it up and build our own economy around it. (https://mastodon.nl/@winfriedtilanus)

You are probably using the term "not hiding problems" as "the BTS is open
for everybody to see". However, making bugs to be appear low in a
list of bugs to be fixed, or even make them to not appear in the
list at all, is also a way to hide them, as they are "less visible".

In this case Paul says the gcr & gcr4 bugs are not RC anymore [*], but since he also asked the maintainer to apply the patch, I hope the maintainer
can honor the request and we can continue with our other tasks.

[*] I think with the criteria by Paul it was still RC when Jeremy downgraded it,
which is the main reason I was complaining about this.

Thanks.
