Hi Juraj,
Of course we are happy to exclude Falkon from the list.
Regards,
Justin

Hello,
Exclusions so far:

- any bug reported by sit...@kde.org
Thanks again for the feedback!
Can you also add Falkon to the exclusion list?
There are not that many bugs nor people working on it and at the moment
it is easy to browse the bugs.
Also I do not know if this was discussed, but some info message on the
bugzilla would be nice, if this project is managed by this BugBot or
not.
Thank you for the help.
Best regards,
Juraj.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
Given the distribution of positive vs negative feedback, we plan to
resume automatic bug triage of old non-wishlist bugs that have not
been updated in over 2 years. If you would like to opt your product
out of this initiative because you're able to keep on top of the
manual bug triage work, please let us know and we'll be happy to
accommodate you.
Exclusions so far:
- okteta
- krita
- any bug reported by sit...@kde.org
Thanks again for the feedback!

The gardening team aims to find out if the bug reports are

KDE as there isn't anywhere near enough manpower to review the
thousands upon thousands of bugs that haven't been touched in
years.
Anecdotally many people don't like such automated changes being

Well, anecdotally you will mostly get feedback from people who
don't like it. Unless something is exceptionally great, few
people will take the time to speak out in favor of something that
is already happening.
The bugs that we are interacting with are ones that have not
had any
activity for over 2 years. We are simply trying to
reinvigorate
discussion on those bugs to see if they are still valid. If
the user
does not reply within the standard 30 day period after a bug
is set to NEEDSINFO, it is automatically closed by the Bug
Janitor.
I am not simply closing bugs, so I do take offense that care
is not
applied.
Properly "triaging" old reports requires at least some level of
understanding of the project, codebase etc. I'm afraid there is
no
simple solution to that and rule-based approaches aren't good
enough.
Even taking things like CONFIRMED status or wishlist priority
into
account assumes that these have actually been consistently
applied.
As a maintainer on a small project, I'm quite happy to get an
occasional nudge on old reports. Yes, I do occasionally go over
old reports to see if they are still valid, but having somebody
else doing this methodically makes sure I don't gloss over some
bug that could be closed or fixed.
Having this done by someone else without too much internal
knowledge is an absolute plus in my opinion. After all, if you
want to clean up your attic, you try to find a helper who does
not have the same emotional attachment as yourself.
I will halt it until it is approved by more developers.
However if it
is decided that it isn't wanted then the KDE as a whole will
need to
entice more people in sorting old bugs individually as it is
clearly
not a priority right now for the majority.
Speaking for KPhotoAlbum, I really appreciate the bugzilla
gardening. Thank you for doing it!
I can second that for the KMyMoney project. An occasional poke and
the automated cleanup when no response arrives where it is needed
helps a lot.
