Hi,
I would like to propose two changes to the Bugzilla workflow for our
instance
on bugs.kde.org. The two proposals are totally independent from each
other.
a) use the "needinfo" flag instead of the NEEDINFO status.
This is implemented on various instances of bugzilla (mozilla.org,
redhat.com,
opensuse.org) and allows the requester to set a needinfo on one or more
specific user.
What does it mean to the state of "Open" bugs? What I like about the
RESOLVED NEEDSINFO is that it hides the bugs from my search lists. If
the bugs would still be shown, it would completely destroy the search
for me (KWin currently gets 1-3 crash reports by Arch users per day).
b) change back the initial state from UNCONFIRMED to NEW.
This was the default until Bugzilla 3. But Many of our developers don't
really
use the UNCONFIRMED->CONFIRMED transition and this confuses the users.
Moreover, NEW is still the initial status on various bugzilla
instances.
I would introduce an ASSIGNED state so that developers that want to
mark that
they have acknowledged it and they are going to work on it can do it.
This sounds good! +1 to it.
Cheers
Martin
