Since there has been interest expressed in the last few weeks in ramping up to a 3.6 release, I suggest we adopt a similar process to the one we've used in the past, and start pruning the "Fix Version: 3.6" from issues that seem like they aren't on anyones radar, or don't seem crucial enough to block a 3.6 release.

Currently in jira, there are 288 Unresolved issues in LUCENE + SOLR marked "Fix Version: 3.6". Of those, there are (currently) 158 that:
  a) Are not assigned
  b) Have not been updated since March 1, 2012
  c) are not bugs (ie: improvements or feature requests)

I propose that we start by removing "3.6" from the fix version from any bug matching "The Query" below, and then move on to assess whatever issues are still left in the 3.6 bucket -- working on those that we can, and eventually doing a second round of cuts to remove anything that has no assignee (regardless of type & date)

I volunteer to do the first bulk "fix!=3.6" pruning against "The Query" in a few days (wed or thurs) if no one objects in the meantime.

If there is an issue on this list someone feels strongly about, all you have to do to keep it from getting pruned (for now) is to assign it to yourself or chime in with a comment/patch explainging why you think it's important to include it in 3.6 -- but don't volunteer unless you plan on following through in the very near future. this is just the first pass, i'm sure there will be others (rmuir is just itching to cut a release, we have a psychic connection that i can feel in my bones).

Likewise this would a god time for all of the committers/contributors to review the list of 3.6 issues currently assigned to you, and self-prune any issue that isn't something you intend to finish in the very near future (either by removing yourself as the assignee if you think it should go in 3.6 but don't have time to work on it; or by removing 3.6 if you still plan on working on it but don't think it will be ready soon).

Checking your list of bugs is easy, using the "individual query" listed below.


"The Query"
(unresolved, fix=3.6, no assignee, updatedDate < march & not bug)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+in+%28SOLR%2C+LUCENE%29+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%223.6%22+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+AND+assignee+is+EMPTY+AND+updatedDate+%3C+2012-03-01+AND+issuetype+!%3D+Bug

"individual query"
(unresolved, fix=3.6, assignee = current user)
