Hi everybody, it's been a while since the last update[0] about the changes in Jira going forward. As discussed in the review on Gerrit[1] and during last year's contributors summit [2], the plan is to automate handling of Jira issues in the Need More Information (NMI) state.
The automation rules have been defined and tested, and are now ready to be deployed in production. To avoid major disruption in the event there are corner cases not covered during testing, we will enable the automation rules on the QTQAINFRA project only at first. This happens this afternoon (CET), and affects 26 issues. Any issue in said project that transitions to the NMI state going forward, will automatically be included. In brief: issues that stay in the NMI state for more than 2 weeks without activity will receive an automatic comment as a reminder that the issue cannot be resolved without further information. If yet another 2 weeks pass without new activity, the issue will transition to closed state with an automatic comment that explains why the issue was closed. For more information about how the automation rules are defined, refer to the NMI handling section on the Jira tips and tricks wiki page [3]. Please direct complaints and any other concerns to the Jira administration email list ([email protected]). Best wishes for a productive day, Paul [0] https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2018-August/033431.html [1] https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/225694/ [2] https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_contributors_summit_2018_Program [3] https://wiki.qt.io/Jira_Tips_%26_Tricks#Need_More_Info_.28NMI.29_handling _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
