Hello everyone! Today we have changed the naming of two report status types on developer.blender.org:
- [1] "Needs Developer to Reproduce" > "Needs Information from Developers" - [2] "Invalid" > "Archived" Reasoning: For [1], this already came up here [a], but I will try to explain again: the "Needs Developer to Reproduce" status was rarely used and without clear meaning. In the majority of cases, this already meant that the triaging team has done everything according to [b], [c] and [d] but would still need additional help from core developers to make a decision on how to proceed. This could mean for example that it is unclear what the expected behavior is and thus a call to set the status to "Confirmed" etc. is in essence only one the according module team can make. This is exactly what "Needs Information from Developers" is now used for. It is only to be used for fully triaged reports, indicating the handover of responsibility from the triaging team to the module teams. For [2], having a report closed as "Invalid" was just causing (unnecessary) reactions for some reporters and often times such a report is by no means "invalid" (as it could still contain useful findings). Calling it "Archived" just serves the same purpose with no loss of information/meaning and can potentially avoid such reactions. Since only the naming changed in the database, there might be some false positives which will be checked again over the coming days. References to these statuses on developer.blender.org and the wiki will also be updated (or have been already), as well as the "Untriaged Reports" query.
