1. I would like to get implemented an AUTOMATIC timeout on the bug
reports.
I have looked at this and it is not possible to do this without drastically altering (forking) bugzilla. I have looked into having a resolution "abandoned" and that should be
possible to do without forking bugzilla "Too Much".
Shame... Ok, so if we have a bug which has been inactive for what period of
time following a request for more information (or to retest with a later
driver) can we actually close it?
If I said 2 months, would anyone complain?
No one has so far...
I'd like to completely clarify that : - If _easily_ recreatable then a comment can be put in to keep it active by the person looking at it, but otherwise anything which is inactive for 2 months when the action was with the raiser can be closed.
If so, which closing code (does it matter?!)? With no changes to bugzilla I would suggest an INVALID closing code with appropriate words added.
Once agreed, we can have some fun clearing out some old rubbish. Looking through the old bugs and trying to reproduce a few, there are some easily recreatable basic bugs but those where there is nothing to go on really cant be progressed!
Well if the attached patch is OK for Jeremy then you will not need to use "INVALID" and you use "ABANDONED" instead. ;^)
Jeremy: You need to rerun checksetup.pl for this change to work.
