Hi,
I've finally finished working our way through the backlog of un-tagged issues in the tracker. This has been done with an AI agent following the "qemu-issue-triage" skill from my recent agent skills series: Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 17:30:43 +0100 Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 00/11] AGENTS.md and associated skills I've been sampling the results as I've gone along and am pretty happy with how the agents have performed. If you do find the agent has gone off on one can you tag me or the agent in a comment on the bug in question and we can try and improve the triage skills. We currently have 1271 open issues in the tracker. Of those: 124 are tagged Needs Info 50 have patches linked 151 are Feature Requests 71 have TestCases attached 16 are identified as Regressions ... and many more A lot of the older issues ended up with Needs Info because they are reported against older versions of QEMU outside the support range. Daniel did suggest maybe we should think about having "triage::outdated-version" and "triage::distro-package" states. However maybe it is enough to stick with Needs Info and just auto expire bugs that have stayed in that state for long enough (6-12 months?). Of course triaging is only the first step, I encourage maintainers to go check their labels and see if any bugs have been missed. I have found adding tabs to the Work Items view with interesting sets of labels has helped in sorting through the noise. -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro
