Yes Daniel, I respectfully agree with you in this regard. > 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.

Bug tagging does help us a lot in identifying bugs and we have already a program similar to the patch pilot program in place (which was one of the action items decided in the ARB sessions at UDS) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/ReviewShifts Secondly, One of the suggestions made at the ARB session in UDS was to create a team such as ARB-contributors and make it a open team for other developers who wish to help us in reviewing (and packaging). Any other ideas welcome.
