Hi,

this morning I checked my mailbox and there were many messages from
bugzilla. But after inspection nothing interesting was there, only
bogus from some stupid bot. I'm not sure what is main purpose for that
bot but I think when some bug is open for long time maintainer is
responsible for closing and if he didn't close it it means that is
still exist. Now after this "feature" I have to waste with my time and
move all bugs from NEEDINFO state to ASSIGNED because they are
features and I haven't got time for them yet or they are low-priority
bugs. I think this bot should be removed as soon as possible before he
creates chaos in bugzilla. Or at least add component list whose bugzillas
should not be touched. I'm going to be the first person whose packages
will be on that list.

Regards, Adam

Changing state of bug on needinfo in rawhide is the worst thing. I moved
them into rawhide because I'll fix them once. If you must then change
them only for Fedora 6 or older.

Ideally but that isn't how it works in practice. There are a number of
forgotten bugs that is not applicable anymore and bug triage is meant to
deal with that.


There has been a number of announcements and discussions regarding this

Yes, but one of the conclusions of this was that bugs in Rawhide should be
treated separately and differently from bugs in released Fedoras. Which
apparently didn't happen this time.

Yes, for example for desktop application whose have huge amount of bugs this
thing is good (your case I think). But on the other hand for server components
is this bad because every bug needs maintainer inspection and 99% bugs should
not be closed and have to be patched - this is my case.

Oh, I thought it was awesome branding saying "Fedora apologizes"

Did you have 'RFE' in the subject or the FutureFeature keyword set?
Going forward we will key solely off of FutureFeature keyword. We made
every effort to exclude them from the rawhide bugs selected.


The process underway is outlined here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp

Did you see or respond to any of the announcements requesting feedback?
If not, what would be a better way to do this in the future?


Thanks,
John

They were treated differently as outlined in the proposal. What part
didn't match your expectations?
