Comment 42 for bug 203016

As much as you doubt he can confirm this is really the same bug
-- how can you be sure it's not?

network-manager is leaking memory for over a year now. We could start installing scripts that automatically track its memory usage and report leaks.
What about a generic "network-manager leaks memory" bug?
Then people can list all their different situations in separate bug reports.
I don't know if that'd make it a lot better...
I definitely understand the frustration this causes.

But hey, everyone - you hear him: open your own bugs. It can only bring more visibility to this issue...

How sad, though. Usually the open source process works pretty well... So anyone pulling his hair out over these annoying memory leaks: rest assured, this is an exception.
