The problem, that there is no documentation about what people should or
should not do when having privileges.
What about the Bugzilla Etiquette document?
At the moment people have to tell future triagers the same stuff everytime they upgrade permissions.
Who is upgrading permissions regularly apart from me?
Are there are large number of cases of people misusing their privileges? What are the most common mistakes people make?
- People abuse the flags, when they shouldn't because there is no clear statement anywhere saying, "Don't do this!"
- People do mass comments/changes because they see other people doing this
and think it's ok. I for myself got into this mess, because I sent out a mass comment and nearly got my privileges revoked for that.
- People resolve bugs as WFM, INVALID, or WONTFIX when they shouldn't
What do you mean by "when they shouldn't"?
The instructions for upgrading privileges should match those outlined on http://www.gerv.net/hacking/before-you-mail-gerv.html .
If they are consensus, fine.
Consensus? They are the _law_, dude :-)
But in the past I got the impression that
other people with editusers, like timeless for example, want to see a
little bit than what you say on your page. I also noticed that some
developers think, that too many people have editbugs (I do not necessarily
agree).
If so, such developers should be contacting me with the names of people they think are not using their privileges correctly.
