So, being the newbie committer, I have been looking through the bug list
trying to figure out where I can contribute some help. It seems to me
like there are a lot of patches/bugs that are languishing (through no
one's fault, we are all busy and this is a volunteer project). I know
you can vote on bugs and also give bugs a priority, but I am not sure
how useful these are at this point since the highest vote getter is
Issue 443 with a sum total of 5 votes (hardly a mandate) and a lot of
them are listed as increased priority. There are also a number of bugs
that date back as far as 2002 which I highly doubt are all that useful
at this point unless someone wants to patch a specific branch.
So, I guess I am wondering where I can be the most helpful? I would
like to propose we close out some of these older bugs as "Won't Fix"
(people will still be able to browse the closed bugs), perhaps any bug
before Jan. 1, 2004. Would this be useful? I don't want to just do
busy work, but I also want to have a better idea of where efforts should
be focused so we can continue to improve Lucene. Anyone have any other
ideas? Or maybe someone wants to convince me that there bug should be
worked on right away... :-)
If this is useful, is there anyone that is willing to help? Perhaps we
can divy them up. I don't think you have to be a committer to
manipulate JIRA, just a "Lucene Developer" which we could probably grant
to someone if appropriate.
