Re: Clean up Jira?
I would agree. The benefit of keeping history is probably hurting us to welcome new contributors. And even worse, a lot of issues only have titles if I recall last time I looked at this problem, so maybe just the reporter remembers (?) if this is still accurate and what it means. -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com On Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 11:31 AM Thomas Andraschko < andraschko.tho...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 > > Richard Zowalla schrieb am Mi., 26.

Clean up Jira?
Hi all, We have a huge mess of open issues, which are very old and are targeting 1.7.x, 7.0.x or 7.1.x. Some of these issues are already fixed (reporter didn't respond, issue was never closed), had no activity for years now (ie. was a config issue by the user, no response to questions) or are badly written, so they cannot be reproduced anyway. I think, that this mess hinders new contributors in finding adequate tasks as it is totally unclear, which of these issues are worth to be worked on. Given that we eol'ed 1.7.x, 7.0.x and 7.1.x, we can (imho) close most of the related issues. With our limited resources, it is impossible to test, if these issues are still encountered in 8.0.x, 9.x or 10.x I would like to propose to clean up our Jira, ie close most of these orphaned / stale issues as "won't fix" because of "no activity" or "eol'ed" target versions. Closing the issues won't affect the searchability nor do we loose information. It just provide some more clarity for the actual tasks we are working on. If a reporter is still interested or a issue still bothers him/her, the issue can re-opened and correctly updated with a (still supported) target version. Thoughts? Gruß Richard
