There was a discussion in the Governance Meeting yesterday [1] about creating a Bug Triage "Team." The goal of this team would be to triage issues on [2] to make sure that they are assigned to the correct component, assigned to the correct developer and are actually still valid. The reason the idea of an official "Team" was put forward would be so that those people would have the ok to touch issues across the board. There are some people that do this already (Daniel Beck and a few others) who most people know, so they have some credibility already, some of the volunteers for this may not, so we thought being part of the team would allow users have more credibility if they are less well known to the community.
We discussed in the meeting that we should focus on a couple of key areas 1) issues assigned to the core component with no assignee 2) issues assigned to plugins that are part of the "recommended" set of plugins for the new install wizard 3) issues that are not assigned to anything or anyone in particular The outcome of a triage on a specific issue would be that the correct component(s) and assignee were there. In addition, if possible a test to see how reproducible the issue is. If an issue has languished for some time and is using very old versions of Jenkins/plugin/etc, we would close the issue (it could still be reopened if someone is still seeing the issue). I'd like to get some feedback on this proposal: 1) Do we have the correct scope planned out? 2) Is more detail needed? 3) Anything else you want to ask/propose? If you want to participate in the team, please let me know and I'll start collecting a list of people. Please note, you don't need to be a developer to help here, if you can create a Jenkins instance and try and reproduce issues, that is great too, or even just getting the component(s) and assignees in place would be very helpful.
