Hi, As a project I feel it is unnecessary to have 2933 unresolved issues in JIRA. These issues have an *average* age of 1019 days (2 years 9 months)!
Several reasons why I think this is bad * Looks bad on public stats * We lose oversight, important issues drown * Reporters do not get closure * New developers get discouraged * We cannot use JIRA stats/reports as goals for our community Furthermore the time to first response is not uncommonly 90 days or more! I think we should strive to have no newly opened issues older than 7 days without at least having one response, question, +1/-1 etc. Perhaps with the exception of issues created by the committers or assigned to someone? I know some community members earlier have disagreed and feel it is not important to have JIRA reflect importance/priorities. I mean, we do not use features like votes, IN PROGRESS status etc in any meaningful way today. As we’ve onboarded many new committers last few years and I’d like to hear if you’re all happy with our (sloppy) Jira maintenance or if it is time to draw some new guidelines? -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
