Hi, Steve,
I follow the discussion coming out of this message with a keen
interest, but I would vote strongly (as only one of bug zappers),
against any individual exceptions from the general policies
described on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow
I would totally welcome any comments and criticism for this
workflow AS WHOLE, but if we get too much in the exception
business whole process would get too complicated for volunteer
bug zappers.
Having said that, I totally understand that we should accommodate
developer workflows as well (or in the first place?), but I am
afraid that introducting CONFIRMED (or UNCONFIRMED) bug status
would bring more problems than benefits.
So, if you have problems to work with the workflow suggested
above, I would point you to the existence of still living status
ON_DEV, which is not part of any official workflow, but it still
remains in our bugzilla (and it probably won't go away anytime
soon).
Wouldn't it be possible for you to redefine ASSIGNED as "this is
bug-triaged and really on my plate to do something about it,
eventually" and then use ON_DEV as "the stuff I am working on
right now"? By this, we (I hope) can acommodate your needs, and
still we don't have to make big changes in our bugzilla (and bug
zappers workflow).
Any comments?
Best,
Matěj
