Yes, and it there's no reaction from the submitter they can also be closed (in Debian and upstream), no need to keep old bugs cluttering the BTSes.

My name is Jeremiah Foster and I thought I'd join this list to learn more about the process of creating a kernel for Debian.

I'm happy to do QA tasks and documentation (I'm a native English speaker and speak Swedish) so I'll try to contribute where I can. Feel free to help with the bug triage if you're interested. Sure, seems like a good place to start. E.g. by repoking the status of forwarded bugs. So the start might be to look through the BTS, find kernel bugs that were forwarded and if it looks like they are dormant, see if they can be brought to life? If a bug is producible with the upstream kernel and the Debian kernel doesn't deviate patchwise we ask people to report it at bugzilla.kernel.org. This often leads to the issue being fixed upstream, but sometimes there is no upstream reaction. You could ping the submitters if the issue been resolved in the mean time - without the Bugzilla status being updated - or if it's still present. It makes sense to reraise the issue upstream in such a case. So essentially we want to make sure the BTS and kernel bugzilla data is fresh and up-to-date and in sync. Makes sense to me and might give me a good overview to start. :^) Regards, Jeremiah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
