Hi folks, It's been quite a while since I shared these, and as far as I know they're still inaccessible to non-administrator users even for reading, which is a shame. I imagine they could be useful to bug submitters, and my fellow groff hackers who lack groff group admin privileges.
I have made a minor update to the "Blocker" definition, removing the
phrase ", or causes data loss." Data loss (such as groff deleting a
file on your system without being told to) violates the "integrity"
property of the "CIA triad", and is therefore a "Security" issue.
I also added the word "host" to the "Security" Severity definition.
Item Group
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Build/Installation | A groff component provokes |
| | diagnostics from build or |
| | other external tools, or |
| | outright fails to deploy. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Crash/Unresponsive | A groff component exhibits an |
| | uncontrolled exit, busy-waits, |
| | loops infinitely, or blocks |
| | inappropriately. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Documentation | A groff component is |
| | incorrectly or inadequately |
| | documented. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Feature change | Some user-visible interface or |
| | program should be added, |
| | deleted, or significantly |
| | modified. These could be NEWS |
| | items. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Incorrect behaviour | A groff component doesn't |
| | perform within norms or as |
| | specified. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Lint | Some detail of groff is |
| | unfastidious, such as non- |
| | confusing typos in |
| | documentation or code style |
| | nits. These matters do not |
| | warrant a ChangeLog entry |
| | absent a Savannah ticket. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Rendering/Cosmetics | The output of a groff |
| | component is ugly, but not |
| | incorrect and not misrendered. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Test | A test program yields false |
| | results or must be upgraded. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Warning/Suspicious behaviour | A groff component issues a |
| | surprising diagnostic message, |
| | or fails to do so when it |
| | should. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------+
Severity
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Wish | Issue is mainly a matter of taste. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Minor | Issue doesn't affect the component's usefulness, |
| | and is presumably trivial to handle. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Normal | Issue is not better described by a different |
| | severity, or has not yet been evaluated. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Important | Issue has a major effect on the component's |
| | usability without rendering it completely |
| | unusable to everyone. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Blocker | Issue makes the component unusable or mostly so. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Security | Issue compromises confidentiality, integrity, or |
| | availability of the host system. |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
