Hello everyone, Currently the bug triaging rights for a given PROJECT (ability to set status and importance of bugs, but also ability to nominate a bug for a past series) is restricted to the corresponding PROJECT-bugs team, which is generally a moderated team that nobody really monitors new members applications for. This restricts the number of people who can help with bugs, whereas we should probably encourage more people to do that.
During the bug triaging session at the OpenStack Design Summit we proposed to open membership to the core PROJECT-bugs teams. This means that anybody could join the team(s) and start helping with bug triaging. If we get the documentation right first, the benefit (more triagers, empowered community) should outweigh the drawbacks (potentially insane triaging that needs to be reverted). If all projects are in agreement with this plan, we would create a single, open, openstack-bugs team. People joining that team would be able to helping with bug triaging in all OpenStack core projects. This would certainly be clearer than having multiple teams with different membership rules. Please let me know if you think this is not a good idea. Otherwise I'll soon start implementing the plan: * Refresh bug triaging documentation on the wiki * Merge PROJECT-bugs team into a single, open openstack-bugs team * Point to triaging documentation from the team's page Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
