No one has time to fix all of the bugs by themselves but by managing the
team, it should be possible to get all of the required work done.
The PMC needs to develop a consensus about how bugs are handled in the
official releases and then make lists of things that need doing.
If a bug is found and added to he JIRA, determining which releases it
applies to should be part of the analysis.
If a patch is developed it should be possible to apply it to each
release at the same time.

I don't have time to maintain 4 code bases (trunk + 3 branches). I
will fix things in the trunk, and I will backport those fixes to the
most recent branch. I have no interest in older branches. If someone
else is using them, then they can create a patch for them. So, I have
no issues with releasing old branches with missing fixes - because if
anyone really cared about them they would work harder to maintain them.

It seems a bit weird to me to officially release code with bugs when we
have already bug fixes in trunk

From my perspective, anyone wanting to use older versions can backport
the changes themselves - either locally, or in the release branches by
providing a patch.

Hello Jacques,
Thanks for your kind words. We started this event considering the fact
to provide fixes for trunk and latest release branch which is
13.07. It
will be of great help if someone from community could pick and back
port
the required changes to Release Branch 12.04. In future if we get time
we will also be taking care of back porting to R12.04.
We didn't back port changes in R11.04 just because it is very old
branch
and very soon will not be maintained. Thanks.

Hi,
It's great to see a second Bug Crush effort!
I have though a question, I see that you (HotWax Media team) only
backport bug fixes to the R13 branch.
I guess it's intended, so why?
I ask this because I already found myself trying to fix issues in R12
and R11 branches (I know will be soon no longer maintained R11 ) and
found they were already backported in R13
