Hi *,
well, I could try to step my feeds in the field of "confirming bugs" too,
given that Bugzilla and me are no best friends (too complicated by now).
So providing a BZ query in this regard would help me.
OTOH I am full with other stuff to do
even RL and/or LO related so I cannot promise so much time.
I am on Windows 10 64 Bit using LO 6.0.5.1 64 Bit too ATM.

The idea is simply:
- what would it take to get to next levels
- how things would change in practice
I just thought I would lay that out in public, so it will hopefully
inspire others to continue or get involved.
Everyone is free to draft their own plans. Personally, I am focusing
on VolunteerMatch. Over the years I have tried so many ways to recruit
that I've lost count and VM feels the most promising so far.

I totally agree to all ideas and concrete aims, but is there a
specific plan to reach the different milestones? If this is the case,
it would be great to know something more about it. If there is now
specific plan: What is the idea behind your email?

The impact of the QA team has been roughly on the same level for
four years and it is getting boring. Now that we have new
contributors trickling in through VolunteerMatch, we have some hope
of leveling up.
What does getting to the next level mean? Freedom. We will be able
to learn new skills and complete projects that have been languishing
in our TODOs for ages. Maybe even have time to read a book or watch
a movie (I know, preposterous).
I will use unconfirmeds as a yardstick as that is something we can
all easily grasp.
The assumption is that we continue to get 500-800 reports per month.
A prerequisite to leveling up is that the triaging work is spread
evenly between contributors. In practice: only needing an average
rate of one triaged report per day per regular tester. This would
signal sustainability.
When we manage to keep the number of unconfirmeds below 100 for
several months, QA will have moved to the next level.
The effects will be:
- no long periods of incomplete triaging (debug traces or bisects
missing)
- more people will get into writing UI tests
- we will have time to do manual tests before releases
- we will have time to think about and improve the presentation of
our work (stats, Dashboard), tech docs and the tools we use
(Bugzilla etc.)
This will require roughly ten more regular contributors compared to
the level of April 2018.
When we manage to slam the unconfirmeds below 50, LibreOffice itself
will move to the next level.
The effects:
- nearly instant triaging of incoming reports
- veteran contributors will move more and more into fixing bugs and
writing cppunit tests
- QA will bleed into other teams, filling the gaps - documentation
is a natural fit as testers are the first to deal with new
functionality and changes
This will require twenty more regular contributors and among these
there has to be power users with knowledge of macros, UNO API,
databases, files over network, digital signatures and similar
advanced user topics.
