One caveat: Jira has no state for indicating "the work is done but not yet integrated" This is a good point. We could add a state in Jira called something like “Patch submitted” in the In Progress status category. Moreover, it’s even possible to automate state change to this whenever a change is submitted in Gerrit with either the Fixes or the Task footer. There may be many reasons why a task is “In progress” but has not transitioned out of that state yet. I do not think we need to model all the intermediate steps involved in “in progress”, the JIRA workflow is complicated enough as it is :) The state of any submitted patches should be visible from the JIRA Gerrit integration in any case. tor arne Cheers, David Skoland On 29 Oct 2021, at 10:39, Edward Welbourne <edward.welbou...@qt.io<mailto:edward.welbou...@qt.io>> wrote: On Thursday, 28 October 2021 06:44:43 PDT Alex Blasche wrote: My proposal would be to return every "In Progress" issue to "Open" if there was no change for 3 month. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thiago Macieira (28 October 2021 17:51) replied That's probably sufficient nagging to the current assignee if they forgot the issue in that state. If it still in progress after that long, they can move it back to In Progress for another 3 months. Indeed. I take it the return to Open would come with a message saying what the 'bot is doing and why; that could include a gentle encouragement to at least add an update comment saying what the current state is and what's causing the delay.

One caveat: Jira has no state for indicating "the work is done but not yet integrated" - which most commonly happens due to delays in review, but could also happen in other cases like needing help with testing whether the fix really has fixed the reporter's problem. As a result, In Progress can just mean "review is taking a long time" or "waiting for a device to test it on". None the less, the flip-flop in state would be constructive, giving the reporter and fixer a reminder to poke relevant folk to move the work forward.
