I took a look and reduced the untriaged issues to around 100. I noticed however some patterns that are producing more untriaged issues that we should have. Those can be probably automated (if JIRA has ways to do it):
1. Issues created and assigned on creation can be marked as open. 2. Once an issue has an associated PR it could be marked as open if it was in Triaged state. Other common case that is probably harder to automate are issues that are in Triaged state because we forgot to resolve/close them. I don’t know how we can improve these, apart of reminding people to look that they do not have untriaged assigned issues. Another interesting triage to do are the issues that are Open and assigned to members of the community that are not active anymore in the project, but that’s probably worth of another discussion, as well as how can we more effectively track open unassigned issues (which are currently around 1600).
