I agree that BZ is not the best platform for stabilizations (and keywording). (It's the one we have now, anything else creates maintenance.) Now, if we want to come up with radical solutions... 1) Stabilization is a simpler and much more formalized process compared to normal bug resolution. * There is one version to be stabilized. * Stabilization can be blocked by bugs of that version. * If there are no blocking bugs, stabilization can go ahead. Which means * No requirement for free-text fields * One precise package version Of course this does not handle the more complex cases like perl/gnome stable lists. 2) *If* we introduce a "Fixed-in" and maybe an "Introduced-in" field in Bugzilla, which gives a precise $CATEGORY/$PVR where a problem is resolved or introduced, the extraction of fixed or non-fixed bugs might even be automatized. - -- Andreas K.
