Hello everybody, Jono talked to David and me and asked if we could help the ARB somewhat.
As a result of a long delay of getting the tools in place and everybody being busy in their other roles, it seems there's a big problem with latency. To assess the situation, I had a look at [1] and found the following: +-----------------------------------------------------+ | bug | in queue | longest time (in d) | who | | | (in d) | between comments | | +-----------------------------------------------------+ | 644066 | 429 | 224 | ARB | | 691347 | 342 | 285 | ARB | | 730196 | 263 | 206 | ARB | | 758020 | 227 | 168 | ARB | | 763937 | 221 | 164 | ARB | | 861471 | 57 | 55 | ARB | | 861480 | 57 | 43 | ARB | | 861540 | 57 | 57 | ARB | | 866067 | 51 | 51 | ARB | | 866086 | 51 | 51 | ARB | | 867660 | 51 | 51 | ARB | | 877023 | 37 | 37 | ARB | | 877029 | 37 | 37 | ARB | | 877047 | 37 | 27 | submitter | | 877057 | 37 | 37 | ARB | | 881489 | 30 | 30 | ARB | | 881515 | 30 | 26 | submitter | | 881515 | 30 | 30 | ARB | +-----------------------------------------------------+ | 18 | ∅ 113 | ∅ 87 | 89% ARB | +-----------------------------------------------------+ This is quite unscientific, but I just counted how long the bug had been sitting there already and what the longest time between a request for comment and a sufficient reply was. Also does this not take into account how many bugs have been closed already. Still it would be good to get the numbers down. I'll start a separate conversation with the myapps team to find out if we can build in some of these statistics. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-app-review-board/+bugs Most of the requests above require the initial review, others require some action to get the package in. What do you feel would help you? Are the bug statuses / bug tags you use sufficient? Would it help for ARB members to have a dedicated ARB day in the week where they spend some time on the queue? Would you like to invite others to help review the packages? There's many options and it'd be great to get more apps in and more app developers happy. :-) Have a great day, Daniel -- Get involved in Ubuntu development! developer.ubuntu.com/packaging Follow @ubuntudev on identi.ca/twitter.com/facebook.com/gplus.to -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~app-review-board Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~app-review-board More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
