Is anybody paying the least attention to this or should I just stop bothering?
The job you're doing is thankless. That's the nature of the work. I'd love to have the time to really help you out. If only my employer didn't expect me to spend so much time *working*!
I'd hoped to get to a point where we could get at least semi-stable and start whittling away at the backlog. But with an additional 63 tests to BadApple (a little fudging here because of some issues with counting suite-level tests .vs. individual test) it doesn't seem like we're going in the right direction at all. Unless there's some value here, defined by people stepping up and at least looking (and once a week is not asking too much) at the names of the tests I'm going to BadApple to see if they ring any bells, I'll stop wasting my time.
Here's a crazy thought, which might be something you already considered: Try to figure out which tests pass consistently and BadApple *all the rest* of the Solr tests. If there are any Lucene tests that fail with some regularity, BadApple those too.
There are probably disadvantages to this approach, but here are the advantages I can think of: 1) The noise stops quickly. 2) Future heroic efforts will result in measurable progress -- to quote you, "whittling away at the backlog."
Thank you a million times over for all the care and effort you've put into this.
