[Minimally-knowledgeable user interjecting here:] Would it help if “possibly complete” bugs were (somehow) easily distinguishable from other Incomplete bugs? By “possibly complete” I mean a bug that is marked as Incomplete, but that has had “some” activity since being marked Incomplete. “Some” activity could be defined as “any at all” or “at least x new comments or y dupes”, or whatever's most useful.
If these bugs were distinct from definitely-still-Incomplete bugs, the latter could be totally ignored by triagers and developers (though they'd still be useful for bug reporters). It would then only be the “possibly complete” bugs that needed to be triaged: either confirmed, or sent back to Incomplete if the new activity is unhelpful. This might also match some bugs where the original reporter returns to say “plz fix this kthxbye”, so there'd be some noise, but less (I suppose) than wading through *all* the incomplete bugs. For comparison, Mozilla regularly (or maybe occasionally) closes all Unconfirmed bugs that haven't received any activity in the last 60 days. (At least, they did the last time I was paying attention properly. Also, “60” may or may not equal 60.) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
