We do have lots of zombie bugs for GNOME, so people willing to focus on old GNOME are most welcome :-) Cheers, Vincent ----- Forwarded message from Vincent Untz <vuntz@opensuse.org> ----- Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 15:17:59 +0100 From: Vincent Untz <vuntz@opensuse.org> To: opensuse-project@opensuse.org Subject: Bug Day next Saturday (Re: [opensuse-project] Zombie bugzilla entries) Mail-Followup-To: opensuse-project@opensuse.org Hi, Le lundi 15 novembre 2010, à 11:20 +0100, Andreas Jaeger a écrit :

Hi there,

2) Assigned entries, even though they are P1, even though there are patches with fixes attached, are not taken care of. There is 1572 of all opensuse bugs which are left for more than 400 days without any attention. Many of them are not even reassigned to proper maintainers.

We have to assign them to the current maintainers and they should evaluate them during the next hack week or bugzilla clean week or so,

The Fedora way is not friendly at all. If the maintainer could not decide the state of the issue, they could change product version to current or developer release and set to "needinfo" for the reporter and/or add them as Junior Jobs bug for reproduce or evaluate for the current stable or development release.

Looking at the numbers, I think maintainers and teams need help with these bugs, they should not stay open anymore.

So, I see two ways: * Closing those bug in an automatic way with a friendly message * Creation of a team that takes care of bugs and helps out

We proposed to organize a bug day to help with this, and it will happen next Saturday. Alexander put some details on his blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/11/22/bugday/ Please join! We'll send more details on how to help before the bug day :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
