--- Comment # 5 on bug 89039 from V Stuart Foote Regards resolving WFM, guess that is OK if that is the QA consensus. But the logic escapes me then of even retaining MABs (or tracking Metas). If a bug shows as resolved in the MAB listing (or any tracking Meta)--it does not get further reviewed--and then we have to drag BZ for the issues. --- Sure. That's us running into the limitations of Bugzilla, really. --- Which then requires an advanced query against Whiteboard field to match regular expression "backportRequest" or similar strings. --- Queries are here, for reference: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Useful_Queries#Backport_Requests --- With 4.4.0 just out of the gate, valid new MABs are going to bubble up against the branch--I just don't see a reason to close them so quickly and then to depend on someone doing a "reverse" bibisect and back-port requests. --- Regardless of what we mark the bugs in Bugzilla, our fastest tool for figuring out which commit fixed a bug is by a reverse-bibisect. And the backportRequest:X.y tag is a very specific way for us to communicate our intentions with the developers. We don't currently have a way to indicate a status for each branch that's active, but if we were to add that, then we could say NEW for 4.4 and RESOLVED for 4.5. I'm not sure of the best way to add that without making things more confusing... Bugzilla isn't quite that customizable. --- Which can't even be done for OS X or Windows issues. --- Well, we can do some limited bibisecting on both platforms. I really hope that in 2015 we can make bibisecting much more doable for both Win and OSX.
