Bugzilla Ideas For 2008
Greetings!
I had a few ideas which I hope will be helpful to the Fedora Bug Squad, so
I thought I would run them by everybody and get a discussion going to see
exactly how helpful these ideas might be.
1: Dedicated Fedora Bugzilla
Should we copy all the Fedora bugs, incl. bugs for the Fedora Directory
Server, to a new host, e.g. bugs.fedoraproject.org or
bugzilla.fedoraprojhect.org? I was thinking this might be one way to
minimize strain on our Bugzilla servers. I know this could be a very time
consuming project, so we should only do this if it is worth the hassle.
2: Add An "Expired" Tag To Bugzilla
Should both the Redhat and Fedora Bugzillas have a new tag added to the
system, called "Expired" (or whatever name we wish) for all tickets which
have had x amount of days with no activity, instead of simply calling it
"Closed"? I was thinking this might allow the bug squad to more easily
find unresolved issues, esp. long-awaited features such as encrypted
filesystems.
3: Old Bug Deletion/Archival
Should we delete bugs that have been closed for x amount of time, esp. the
ones that we will likely never again need to reference, such as fc6 and
earlier bugs? If deletion is not an option, perhaps we should setup a
legacy server to store these old bugs, as it will be hardly used and make
more resources available for new Fedora bugs? If we can use it, perhaps
bugs.fedoralegacy.org or bugzilla.fedoralegacy.org?
4: Contingency Plan
I know Bugzilla is a very important part of our infrastructure, and
