h) One of the reviewers (not sure if it should be primary
or secondary)
should close any bugzilla bugs fixed by the pull request.
Can this be
automated?
This is what we are currently doing (sort of) and I think it
would be better
to have the requester be responsible for closing the original
bug.
I think we should push for full automation. I think it can be
done with github (and actually, I think it already
automatically records the commit in bugzilla).
The problem I see with making the submitter do it is, the
submitter may not be active at the time, or may not care. The
pull request is done, and he has his fix, but we need to make
sure the bug list is updated properly.
According to the description of the Bugzilla service hook on
GitHub, it can automatically close bugs via pull requests, but
only since version 4.0 of Bugzilla - and the one on d.puremagic
is only 3.4.1. I have no idea what it takes to upgrade a Bugzilla
- but the benefit of automatically closing bugs would probably
justify it.
Another thing - in order for the Bugzilla service hook to work,
the commit message must refer to it via the syntax "Ticket 123",
"Bug 123" or "Tracker item 123" - while most commit messages in
current the pull requests refer to it via the "Issue 123" syntax.
I think the new review process should enforce proper reference to
Bugzilla issues.
Anyways, why keep using Bugzilla instead of GitHub issues?
