I agree it's still usable and working (and that my statistics can be taken quite out of context), my focus was on the littler patches which often aren't breaking anything. I think that part of the problem is that Trac does little to determine the eligibility of some of these patches (without requiring "telepathy" from committers).

Slight correction, 1/3 of closed tickets are marked invalid, wontfix, duplicate or worksforme. And like you say, I'm not sure you can carry that average across still opened tickets. > Thirdly, the "Adrian as owner" measure is really bogus. The bulk of > components have Adrian as the owner.

I admit this was a bit cheeky to put in. What I was trying to get at by this number is that these are roughly the number of unassigned tickets - quite a large number. > I should pull out some of the GNOME and Fedora bug > triaging guidelines and tailor them to Django's work practices so that > more people can start helping out there.

I'm interested in what other people have to say on the issue, especially any ideas of any way to streamline the Django "defect/enhancement -> commit" process. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
