With all respect: Michael has a point here. And there is no point to deny it - at least not on our internal communication channels. I think we even had a nice discussion about the situation after the 4.10 release. We had some ideas but hardly any of it got implemented.
So Michael mentioned that the bugs don't get even answered and that it's pointless to report bugs for Plasma. I agree there and stopped doing it. Bugzilla tells us a lot to verify that this is true. For example over the last month 100 new bugs got created which are still open [1]. In the same timespan 24 bugs changed to which either Marco, Sebas or Aaron commented [2]. This doesn't mean that they commented in that timespan. It just means that the bug changed. So a max of 24 bugs were touched by the core Plasma developers over the last month. I am not blaming anyone here, don't get me wrong. I'm just describing the current state. Now I can be extremely optimistic, but I doubt that patience will help here anything. The number of open bugs is constantly increasing and there is nobody working on improving the situation. My reality check tells me that this situation is not going to change. Of course given the current situation it is pointless to report any new bug. The chances are very low that it will help anything. This means we are wasting the time of our dedicated users who report bugs. Also here bugzilla searches help: there are 138 open bugs which were created since January 1st and nobody commented to over the last 90 days[3]. If we go for 30 days it's 352. I already suggested in the previous discussion to just close all bug reports as we hit the scalability limit. We couldn't agree on that one right now, but I think that Michael's suggestion is not bad. We currently lack the possibility to scope with the incoming bugs. Getting further bug reports won't help and is kind of an insult to the users and gives a bad image to overall KDE. Changing the product to only editbugs users can create bugs could improve the situation. Think about it :-) Cheers Martin [1] https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=660649&chfieldto=Now&query_format=advanced&chfield=[Bug%20creation]&chfieldfrom=-1M&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=plasma [2] https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?j_top=OR&f1=commenter&o3=equals&list_id=660648&v3=sebas%40kde.org&o1=equals&o2=equals&chfieldto=Now&query_format=advanced&f3=commenter&chfieldfrom=-1M&f2=commenter&v1=aseigo%40kde.org&v2=notmart%40gmail.com&product=plasma [3] https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?f1=days_elapsed&list_id=660687&o1=greaterthan&chfieldto=Now&query_format=advanced&chfield=[Bug%20creation]&chfieldfrom=2013-01-01&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&v1=90&product=plasma
