Hi
Let me chime in:
i think we should not discourage people from raising bug tickets. those
are important.
i agree with clean slate principal but maybe i would increase from 3
months to 6 months the threshold.
Also it would be the best wehn a bug ticket is raised then the DEV mail
list should be informed.
Whether it is before or after i am not sure.
i think we just dont have visibility on the newly created bugs and those
are not reviewed and discussed, so noone's picking it up.
What do you think?
Regards
Adam

First of all, let me join others in thanking Adam!
However...
do not simply create a ticket and expect it to be fixed. Please close
your tickets if you aren't going to work on it, or if you find no one
willing to work on it.
In working on the UI and following Slack one comes across Fineract bugs
frequently. (I created 3.) I assumed the Fineract project profited from
being made aware of them, even if I don't intend to fix any of them,
neither want to find someone (via Slack? by emailing active developers?)
to fix them.
So does this mean someone like me should stop pointing out bugs? Or feel
obliged to return after x weeks to close them, because no one seems to
have picked them up?

Else-thread I complemented Adam for his great work on over 100 tickets

But, we have a LOT more to do. Also, since we have a number of new
people
here, I'd like to emphasize something: Please do not simply create a
ticket and expect it to be fixed. Please close your tickets if you
aren't
going to work on it, or if you find no one willing to work on it. If
what
you have are ideas, then please bring them to the listserv and find
common
ground with others.
Leaving tickets open for hundreds of days doesn't help the project in my
view. Below I'm pulling a few reports from the JIRA project.
The average time to fix an issue since Oct 30, 2020 is over 450 days on
this project. MOST of this is because a LOT of "abandoned" items stay
open
indefinitely. Maybe they got fixed in the meantime with some other
effort,
or maybe they are a good idea, but leaving them open isn't useful to us.
Please recall that tickets are closed but not lost.
I would propose that we close any ticket over 3 months old that is not
currently receiving any attention, with "will not fix" and give our
project
a "fresh start". Maybe we need to use a status like "abandoned" to
help
find them again.
From my jira queries, there are 311 tickets older than two years ( i.e.
created over two years ago and still marked open).
There are 41 tickets created within the last three months which remain
open. This seems about right. So, I am proposing that we close all
but
about 41 tickets.
We did this a few years ago and closed several hundred in Q4 2022.
