[Mageia-dev] Proposals to improve the triage

Tue Aug 23 22:35:53 CEST 2011

Hi,
+
+I wrote this mail to discuss what we can do, to make triage more
+efficient. Indeed there is a big part of the bugs that are assigned to
+bugsquad.
+
+The majority of the rpms has not maintenairs.
+For example, to who can we assign installer bug? there is not
+maintainers for drakx-installer-*
+(on bugsquad Thierry told me that he read the bug on the saved search
+https://bugs.mageia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=saved-searches and that he is
+alone in the team, but so for the component "Installer" in assigned to
+bugsquad)
+The same for Gnome bugs, like nautilus, or other DE (xfce, lxde) and
+package
+Should we add in CC the packager ? 
+
+Some bug can be easily fixed. Like 'Mandriva Linux' in strings of some
+text file, or other. For them, Dmorgan created the tag Junior_Job.
+(https://bugs.mageia.org/describekeywords.cgi) seems similar to easyfix
+by Redhat.I have add a saved the search "Junior_Job", for now there is
+only two bugs, but we can sure other.
+For other we need add missing rpm. dkms-syntek as example for no UVC
+Webcam.
+
+What can we do for reduce the number of Bugs ?
+
+Agressivily assign bugs to latest package uploader?
+I am not sure that all packager (for example: ennael 300rpms or dmorgan
+1000rpms uploaded) can/will work on their rpms's bugs.
+
+Have a list of people who can help in solving some bugs ? Gnome2,
+Gnome3,
+KDE4, XFCE, Drakxtools, Kernel, Web application, Audio, Video card,
+Firmware, etc.
+
+Maybe we can also create an alias for a group of package ? like
+gnome3-maint AT groups.mageia.org, kde-maint, drakx-maint, etc.
+
+We can finally post a mail 10 "bugs" a day. 5 bugs with the choice of
+the id and the priority or a mix with bugs easily solvable and 5 package
+request.
+(or in a smaller proportion and frequency).
+
+Regards,
+--
