The issue is clearly not resolved and upstream is already indicated with the upstream keyword. As for making complex queries, this may take a minute the first time, but doesn't have to be repeated. The VisualEditor team, for example, has about half a dozen useful queries that are "shared" within the team (any bz user can enable it in their preferences) that the product manager maintains for us. We just click them when we need to know what's up. And then there is the product-independent query that is useful for developers: "Bugs assigned to me" (that is, with status=ASSIGNED, not just any bug that was by default assigned to you). Also, why would want to exclude "Waiting for upstream" bugs from triage lists? During a weekly triage I suppose it makes sense to evaluate these as well. Just like one would check up on a patch or the contributor, one would check up on the upstream ticket and maybe poke someone there. -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
