Picking up from where Mageia forked off, many things activities look like continuity from Mandriva Linux. But forking is also a challenge to find not too hard to implement improvements - such as "bugzilla monitoring".<br>
<br>
I think I am not the only one who frequently felt frustrated submitting yet another bug, knowing that it had more 50% of chance to disappear the "oubliettes". I think there is an objective question: if bugs are not followed up, that should not just happen by accident - there should be an explicit and justified decision. There is also a subjective question: a user who went through the pains to write a good bug report should get a feedback with a followup, even if there are no "comments" in the bugzilla data base.<br>
<br>
Some ideas: have a "lost bug advocate"? create a team - just like the "triage team" that feels responsible for bugs not to disappear? (different from the, but talking to, maybe overlapping the triage team, leaning on the "dev" - in Mageia it will be a volonteer, even more important - to whom a bug is assigned) - proposing and justifying which bugs - for the time being - will have no follow up), creating some commented statistics on the fate of bugs - good for QA, but also for PR about Mageia? trigger an alarm if too many bugs remain un-resolved? - always assuming that enough active contribution can be recruited from the temp. wiki list. I also believe that, for Mageia, the situation is different. In Mandriva, I guess that some (many?) of these acitivities were done by staff of the QA group - in Mageia an alternative is needed.<br>
<br>
Maybe Mandriva had something like this - if yes, it was too well hidden.<br>
