Hi Zach,

Thanks for putting the data in a spreadsheet - that’s easier to navigate.

And thanks for re-raising the question whether we have the right components in 
bugzilla.
As I think this could be an area for lots of different opinions, without any 
near-perfect solution, it has the potential to be a discussion that drags on 
for a long time.
I thought half of all bugs not getting triaged was a serious enough problem to 
try and tackle first (with this mail thread) before aiming to improve the 
component breakdown in bugzilla.
I think that setting default-cc lists on the components we have currently is 
largely orthogonal to reducing/merging components, as we can always merge 
default-cc lists when we merge components.


On actually coming up with a refined list of components: I think we’ll need to 
define/agree first on what guiding principles we follow when deciding something 
is worthwhile to be a separate component.
Over the past few weeks I’ve heard a number of different options, ranging over:


  *   Just make a component for every sub-directory in the source code.
  *   Just make a component for every library that gets build in the LLVM build.
  *   Make components so that each component has a significant enough number of 
issues raised against it (I’m trying to paraphrase what you’re proposing below).

In my mind, the guiding principle should be:

  *   Components should reflect an area of expertise, so that each component 
can have a set of recognised people that can triage and/or fix bugs against 
that component.

If we’d follow that principle, I think we should not merge all components with 
less than 10 bugs reported into an “Other” component.
I do agree that some merging could still probably be done. E.g. maybe all the 
“clang/C++11”, “clang/C++14”, “clang/C++17”, “clang/C++2a” could be merged into 
a single component.

So in summary:

  *   I don’t think we need to delay assigning 
volunteers-for-triaging/default-cc lists to components. If we merge components 
later on, we can merge cc lists, or asks the volunteers for the relevant 
components If they want to remain on the default-cc list for the merged 
component.
  *   My opinion is the we should define components based on areas of expertise.

Thanks,

Kristof

Just so I'm clear, are we going to attempt to clean up and/or merge the 
components?  If we are, it makes sense to do that before we start putting 
ourselves as default CC's on the various components since they will just 
change.  If not, it would be nice to get some clarification on that now.

I've put the above list into a spreadsheet so people can sort / filter it as 
they see fit.  The link is here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aeU6P_vN2c63mpkilqni26U7XtEBDbzZYPFnovwr3FI/edit#gid=0

I think a good starting point would be to get rid of any component with less 
than 10 bugs reported so far this year and merge them all into an "Other" 
component.

Hi,

Yesterday, I’ve landed a description for how reported bugs should be flowing 
through the various stages of a bug’s life (triage, fixing, closing, …) at 
http://llvm.org/docs/BugLifeCycle.html.
Thanks for the many many people who provided ideas and feedback for this!

With there now being a description of what is expected during bug triaging 
(http://llvm.org/docs/BugLifeCycle.html#triaging-bugs), we're looking for more 
volunteers to actually do the bug triaging.
About half of all raised bugs currently don’t seem to get triaged.

The idea is to have one or more volunteers for each of the well over 100 
different product/component combinations we have in bugzilla.
If you volunteer to help with triaging bugs against a specific component, we’ll 
add you to the default cc list for that component, so that when a new bug is 
raised against that component, you’ll get notified automatically through email. 
For components with few reported bugs, a single triager may suffice. For the 
high-traffic components, we’ll probably need multiple volunteers.
I’ve provided the list of product/components below that had bugs reported 
against in 2018, together with how many bugs were reported against them this 
year so far, as an indication for which components may need more volunteers.

I do want to highlight the “new-bugs/new bugs”, “clang/-New Bugs” components as 
those tend to be components people file bugs against if they don’t have a clue 
which part of clang/llvm is causing the issue they’re seeing. I believe that 
you don’t need to be an expert to be able to triage most of those bugs. If you 
want to learn more about llvm, volunteering to triage those bugs may be an 
interesting way to learn a lot more yourself.

How can you get added to the default cc list/volunteer?
* Preferred way: raise a bug against “Bugzilla Admin”/“Products” to get 
yourself added to the default cc list of the components of your choice.
* Other way: email bugs-ad...@lists.llvm.org<mailto:bugs-ad...@lists.llvm.org>
* Yet another way: just reply to this mail.

Thanks,

Kristof
