in the last few weeks I was given Bugzilla admin power by Joel and I'm
adding new version once they come out and rename RCs to release once they
are promoted.
I think I could do some cleanups but I need your opinion first...
-------------------------------------
1 - remove the "all versions" items
-------------------------------------
actually we have 7 of those items for 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2
and there's no "4.3 all versions"
I don't remember exactly why these "all versions" have been added... maybe
was something related to the Bugzilla Submission Assistant (BSA) which I
don't even know if it longer works.
anyway I see that these "all versions" items have been very rarely used
scroll the list here: https://goo.gl/nIJTEC and you see that there are
only few bugs that use those labels.
so let's get rid of them by just hiding them from the version select menu.
it will shorten our long version list
-------------------------------------
2- END-OF-LIFE version collapse from 6 to 3 months
-------------------------------------
in order to shorten the list it was decided that all the alphas, betas and
RCs of an END-OF-LIFE branch should be hidden after 6 months from the EOL
date, leaving just the final releases visible.
I think the 6 months period is unnecessary too long and can be safely
reduced to 3.
let's take the example of the 4.3.x branch
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.3_release
the EOL was May 27, 2015. with the current 6 months waiting time we will
do the cleanup on November 27, 2015... by that date the 4.4.x will be EOL
too and the 5.0.x will be in a very advanced stage with LibO 5.0.4
available
so I think that it will be very unlikely at the end of 2015 to see people
submitting new bugs about the alphas, betas and RCs of the 4.3.x branch.
let's rather set the waiting time to 3 months which means the collapse
will take place on August 27, 2015 where you'll also have releases of
LibO 4.4.5 and 5.0.1
