Guys, I'm looking at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2011-01/threads.html
I count 6 emails which have no reply. (I'm not counting automatic emails from the issue tracker) It's just possible that some of those might have been answered in Feb, but I know that some of them definitely weren't answered. I'm sorry to keep on harping on this, but we can do better. We have seven (7) people. Quoting the Bug Squad checklist, each person is supposed to "get rid of these emails in the first method which is applicable... there is no option for 'ignore the bug report' -- if you cannot find a reason to reject the report, you must accept it". http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/bug-squad-checklists How did all seven people miss those emails? I don't mind if one or two people accidentally delete a few emails and thus don't process the emails on their day, but the chances of everybody accidentally deleting those emails seems fairly low to me. The "bug squad setup" page has tips on setting up your email client to help you find unanswered emails. If there's a mistake on that page, then let's talk about it and fix those instructions. If those tips aren't enough to make the email handling easier, then let's talk about that -- should I make a separate lilypond-tracker email list, and send all the automatic google notifications to that list? Should I get the automatic tracker messages to contain a special header to make filtering easier? Should we try to reduce the "per-email checklist" down to 4 points instead of 8 ? Should we reoganized the bug squad to have 4 people doing 15 minutes *twice* a week, instead of 7 people doing 15 minutes *once* a week? We have a problem. We can try to fix it with technology, better documentation, different policies, and/or different organization. Any ideas?
