A pattern is starting to emerge, where by Sunday there are usually more
than fifty and sometimes up to a hundred unassigned bug reports waiting,
sometimes double that. It looks like a few people are doing basic
reviewing on a couple dozen bugs during the days that I work, but from
Saturday until Sunday, most bugs are filed and many get left to go
stale for days, contrary to the purpose of the bug-wranglers project,
which states that we should strive to assign bugs within a day (say 24
hours) after reviewing them and improving them. Since I work basically
from Wednesday until Sunday, most bug reports now get assigned somewhere
between Sunday and Wednesday. I'd have liked to give some better
statistics (and didn't we have some script for the LWN that did that?
Is it still running?) but I don't currently have them. Maybe Alex's
script could warn about the number of stale bugs (maybe having Status:
NEW; age > 24 hours) but I guess that would intrude too much on this
mailing list. It would certainly help to have some performance
statistics available on a regular basis.
