just like last year we did an audit of all the bugs in bugzilla. I think this year also we should do the same, the bugs are growing large and older bugs are being neglected. just wanted to say that we need to check all the old open bugs, and test them/ask the user for status. Close the bug as Abandoned if there is no response. also test the application yourself on latest git. this is the work to be done. and we need volunteers for this work.
need volunteers to clear up the mess(old abandoned bugs) in bugzilla
The situation with bugzilla is quite bad. The rate at which bugs are opened is a LOT higher then the rate of bugs that can be fixed. This adds a lot of bugs that won't ever be fixed.
The situation also isn't helped by the fact that a lot of the newly generated bug reports are not of good enough quality. Example: "My obscure app doesn't do xxx", without for example mentioning what the app is, or a link to a demo, or insufficient information to really reproduce the bug.
The situation isn't improved by the fact that bugs are reopened by those persons after minimal additions. Perhaps we should have a bug moderation? Only allow bugs that follow the criterion, then have a way for bugzilla admins to accept bug reports and then a new bug report entry is created in bugzilla.
