The handling of translation related bug reports is often rather
time-consuming. I'm wondering how we could improve it. I'll describe
and comment how it works today.
Bugs filed with component "translations" are by default assigned to me
(ke -@- novell.com). Then I must find the translator who can actually fix
it.
That's fine, but does not scale that good any longer. We now have more
translations and translators, more languages, and, happily, more users
who run localized desktops.
In the past, I simply searched through lcn/50-etc/translators and
assigned the bug accordingly.
The first step to improve the workflow is to cleanup the translators
file (I'll attach it). I'd like all our team coordinators to check
whether team listings are fine. I think it would work the best, if the
team coordinator would come first. With the switch to Berlios, the
account names are ambiguous ;) We need them both, the Berlios account
name and the one at Bugzilla.novell.com. Often, they are the same,
though.
I think it would work if we'd simply add the Bugziall account name at
the end of every line, that's after the mail address:

In the long run, the default bug assignment should be changed from
ke -@- novell.com to a mailinglist, where others could subscribe
themselves and help with bug assignment.
