Hi,
The bugs in question are: 183688,182217,144317. As there's no work going
on them (the issues are quite old now) could you advise me on the course of
action? The issues in those
bugs make Mozilla useless for printing non us-ascii pages.

Reproducible: Always

wait until someone fixes those bugs, or fix those bugs yourself, or maybe try
xprint.

I'm trying to suggest here no one is going to fix them as they are assigned to a
dead email address. They need to be reassigned.

Piotr, we have a lot of bugs assigned to dead addresses.  We're working on a
transition strategy to explicitly assign them to "nobody" so that it will be
clear that they are not assigned.

It's impossible to have every single bug assigned; assigned means the developer
is actually working on it or planning to, and there are not enough developers to
do that.

Thanks for the explanation.
