Hi all, I just have a quick question..
I got a message from someone last night asking me to stop closing bugs because I'm spamming the list, however I also received a message from someone a couple of nights ago thanking me for doing bug triage.. Which is it, and if it is both, then what draws the line between triage and spam, and how do I close stale bugs without it being considered spam?
Marking bugs as closed has nothing to do with bug triage. Triaging bugs would be a really helpful thing, but mass-closing bugs does nothing but give subscribers a whole lot of emails to delete. We don't keep track of stats like other projects, so there's really no point to blindly close all bugs that are resolved, instead of closing bugs on a case by case basis.
since invalid isnt really "resolved", and neither is works for me
But closing these bugs somehow makes them "resolved" for you?
