IMHO the problem is not any lacking tools. If people would be interested to fix bugs then they would get fixed and if the workflow is too tedious then someone would step up to improve it. So the question is rather why are KDE developers not that active in fixing bugs and also not revisit old bugs. Probably simply for the following reasons: New features and even platform technology changes.are more interesting to volunteering contributors than revisiting (old) bugs. If I understood correctly there is more company backing for gnome than KDE (e.g. only supported or main desktop environment on SUSE Linux Enterprise and Red Had Enterprise Linux being gnome) so also less paid contributors to "motivate" to fix issues rather than do cool new - and potentially broken - stuff. But openSUSE Tumbleweed as rolling distribution offering the latest plasma version as well openSUSE Krypton [1] with even the latest git snapshot running on Tumbleweed also can help to provide much faster feedback to upstream plasma. And faster feedback means that issues are not about "old" bugs but issues in what developers have developed "just now". So if you want bugs to be fixed more maybe show that these happen in openQA tests on the latest upstream version as well :-) * [1]: Latest tests of openSUSE Krypton on https://openqa.opensuse.org/ group_overview/23 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
