Summary: We need a resolution for abandoned bugs Product: Bugzilla Version: 2.14.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bug list AssignedTo: jnewman@codeweavers.com ReportedBy: tony_lambregts@telusplanet.net CC: wine-bugs@winehq.com
We need a resolution for bugs that are orphaned by their reporter. the current resolutions are
* Fixed * Duplicate * Will not Fix * Invalid Bug * Fixed Later * Remind to fix * Works for me
There are a number of bugs that are marked as resolved because the reporter has simply abandoned the effort. In some of the cases I think that "Works for me" or perhaps "invalid" is appropriate. In other cases I have no way of verifying whether the problem is fixed because I do not have access to the program that caused the original bug report.
The biggest reason for this is that for proper QA these bugs should be verified before they are closed but there is no way to verify them. However if we keep them around then they are just clogging up the works. Having a resolution of "Orphaned" or "Abandoned" would be a way of tracking these bugs and would be a valid way of dealing with them for QA.
