(In reply to Stian Low from comment #15)
However if it behaves more like a black box unable to clarify to someone how to reproduce the report and is considered a competitor vs user of Coverty then it approaches conflict with WineHQ's current LLM policy.
Well, no, because the LLM policy only covers actual code that goes into Wine and it's based only on copyright and licensing law. Personally, I'd prefer to extend the policy to forbid any LLM content anywhere, because it's got horrible ethical problems and categorically wastes time far worse than anything human-generated. The worst human-written bug, containing nothing other than "it doesn't work", is better than an AI bug, because at least you immediately know that all the information is missing, and can eventually tease it out of the reporter, and don't get misled down wrong rabbit holes. Similarly I'd be inclined to not humor this report, even if it is valid, because I don't want to encourage more slop, as it were. (In reply to Olivier F. R. Dierick from comment #23)
For as long as I've been contributing here, I have been always told that Bugzilla was not a place for user help or philosophical debate (although some senior developers tends to ignore that when they see fit), that there were policies and that bug triagers were tasked to enforce them and make sure that the bug conformed to them so that it was easier for developers to pick issues to work on.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a matter of balance. Our policies generally make bugs easier to work with, but too strict adherence to them can make them harder or make the process of triaging and debugging hard. Like, yes, the fact this bug is a metabug that is very hard to tell when it's properly closed is bad, but 1900 individual bugs would be worse. Similarly a lot of off-topic discussion, or user aid, can clog up a bug, but that doesn't mean that a little bit, like a sentence telling the user what winetricks workaround they can use, is unacceptable; indeed it's significantly less work than the alternative. Similarly, to address a complaint by Stian in some bug I forget, you don't have to be entirely soulless or robotic, but getting into a long tangent isn't great, and bringing up politics is a bad idea. I think the treatment of individual bugs, as well as policies, should be informed by what's useful to both developers and non-developer triagers, and that exceptions should be made if the policy isn't going to be helpful in a given scenario. Not every bug is alike; this is one of the weird ones. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
