This is what I intend to do during the triage:
1) Sanity check the Issue Type field.
2) Sanity check and mark all applicable check boxes.
Those fields plus the user votes will give me the information I need
to guide my bug fixing.
I guess that would bring me back to Urgency then. Dag said:
"Doc: This is the field used for dynamically reflecting scheduling
opinions and decisions; when a release manager is appointed, typically
a release manager will "own" this field to reflect how she sees how
issues should be prioritized for fixing prior to a release
("releasability"). Presumably, no release will be made if there is a
"blocker" left. This field also takes likelihood of users hitting a
bug into account; Priority a.k.a. Severity does not. After triage, no
bug should have the "none" urgency.
"
It seems reasonable that the release manager would be able to use this
field to mark issues as Blocker or maybe even Urgent, but it seems it
would be a bit cumbersome to rank all of the issues with his/her
personal opinion and as you say individuals will use whatever method
they like to prioritize their bug fixing for non-blocker issues.
