I don't have any data on whether or not standard-mode users also misuse the newcomer tag. If I notice any more misuses after reportbug 7.6.0 transitions to testing, then I'll ask the submitters which reportbug mode they are using. If I find any standard-mode misuse I'll report back. Until then, lets see how the new restriction goes. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Didn't find the time to submit a corresponding alternative merge request for that before the previous one was merged and released, sorry. What do you think?

In novice mode reportbug does not initially show the tag menu at all, only before submission the user can still choose to enter a dialog to add tags. We could still hide the newcomer tag from the tag list in that case: https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/merge_requests/41
Bug#941961: reportbug: nudge novice bug submitters away from incorrectly using the newcomer tag
Package: reportbug Version: 7.5.3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: ow...@bugs.debian.org In several cases we have had situations where novice bug submitters thought that the newcomer tag applies to the bug submitter instead of to the suitability of the issue for newcomer contributors. Here are some examples of where I have removed the newcomer tag: https://bugs.debian.org/792240 https://bugs.debian.org/898437 https://bugs.debian.org/867096 https://bugs.debian.org/775051 The submitters in all these bugs seem to have been using reportbug. I was thinking that reportbug should hide the display of the newcomer tag from the tag list when the reportbug mode is novice. This would likely restrict the tag to folks who will use it correctly and probably wouldn't prevent folks who know about the tag and what it is for from either manually adding the tag or using standard/etc modes. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
