Nor should we. These are usually private matters.

For issues related to the product itself.  So on the trademark side
that would be quite narrow, e.g., a trademark statement in the About
box, and maybe recognition of 3rd party trademarks in printed
materials, e.g., "Microsoft Windows".

For permission on using trademarks and logos the process is to send
the request to the private mailing list:
http://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html

We're not currently tracking such requests in BZ.

Is this specifically issues internal to AOO?  As opposed to reports of
trademark abuse or requests for approval of trademark use?
