Howdy all,
As Alexandre mentioned [1], at WineConf we made several decisions to modify bugzilla in a few ways. I've now implemented those changes, which are outlined below:
* New wine-staging product: This should be used for bugs caused by patches that are in wine-staging, but that do not occur in wine-development (i.e., wine-staging patch regressions)
* New STAGED resolution: This is to differentiate bugs that are FIXED (in wine-development) from bugs that are not present in wine-staging because of one or more patches. The anticipated workflow is: UNCONFIRMED > bug confirmed, NEW > patch written and sent to wine-patches, if it's accepted, FIXED. If not, and the patch is integrated into wine-staging, then the bug is STAGED. When the patch is revised and eventually integrated into wine-development, the bug should move to FIXED.
* New NEEDINFO resolution: There's a lot of confusion and different handling by triagers for what to do with bug reports that are incomplete (i.e., leaving it open versus closing invalid). To mitigate this, I've added a NEEDINFO resolution. If a bug report lacks needed information, set it to this status. Bug that have been open NEEDINFO for more than 1 year can be closed.
* Renamed UPSTREAM to NOTOURBUG: This is more in line with what other projects do, and eliminates confusion about the upstream/downstream distinction.
Please let me know if there are any questions or ideas for further enhancements.
