Pushing TBD tickets to future to clear them from the 1.4 queue, please assign a real milestone if you start working on these tickets.

isn't this happening now? admittedly i know nothing about what we do with maven.

can we close this ticket?

if there's no response in 14 days it will close automatically.

Because we get so many tickets, we often need to return them to the initial reporter for more information. If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!
