Hello,
I just tought about a TOTRIAGE status for bug repports.
It would works like that :
- When you repport a bug, it would be defaulted to "TOTRIAGE" status.
- If the initial reporter has more than $TRESHOLD of karma, he would
be able to set the status to anything else immediatly. So, not really
a waste of time for him.
Why ?
Bug triagers would be allowed to only display "TOTRIAGE" bugs. They
don't even have to confirm them anymore. They can quickly see if the
bug would be useful for a developper, have enough information and is
reported against the good pakage. It would also be easy for bug
triagers to quickly see were the work must be done. ATM, half the
unconfirmed bugs are well discussed by developpers and doesn't need
triaging at all. They are just discussing if it is a bug or not,
etc...
Developpers would be allowed to display all but "TOTRIAGE" bugs so
they can only see bugs that at least look like bug repports and are
well against their software.
I would find this personnaly useful. I just don't know if TOTRIAGE
must be a status (like WONTFIX, UNCONFIRMED, ..) or must be a tag that
can be added to the bug.
