Hi all, now that we have new detailed statistics about new package review tickets ( https://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/ ) I would like to make some cleanings... at the time I'm writing, there are 517 tickets listed as new, many of them are older than 5 years!
The first steps I would like to do, if FESCO and community agree, are: - some of these tickets are marked as "dependency rejected"; that means they depend on other package review tickets that were rejected, for whichever reason, so they will never get approved either. I would like to just close these (there are 3 tickets in this state) - following the Policy for stalled package reviews [1], I would like to mass comment on tickets submitted before 1/1/2017 (more than 3 years old) asking the submitter if they're still interested in continue with the review process and mark the ticket as NEEDINFO. After one month without reply I will close the ticket, as per policy. Then there are 352 tickets listed as "review in progress", but that's also not true. Here we have tickets with review-flag set to ? (review in progress) or + (package approved) since 2013. There are even some tickets for which the git repo as been generated. These tickets probably need a manual check to choose the best course of action. Some of those packages have been approved and imported in Fedora, some of these have been later retired also from repositories... but the review ticket has never been closed. I would propose to: - if the package got approved and it's still in repos, just close the review ticket as CURRENTRELEASE - if the package got approved and was later removed from repos, just close the review ticket as NOTABUG - if the package got approved before 1/1/2019, but never imported in repos, clear the review-flag and assignee and mark as NEEDINFO from the submitter asking if they're still interested in this (we probably need to decide what to do if the git repo has been already set up) - if the package got approved before 1/1/2020, but never imported in repos, do not clear the approval and mark as NEEDINFO from the submitter asking if they're still interested in this - for tickets with last change marked before 1/1/2019, if the review-flag is set to be IN-PROGRESS, mark the ticket as NEEDINFO from either the submitter or the reviewer Let me know if you agree (or disagree) with this proposal.
