Thats actually one part of the original intention: - making it easy to filter it out (or sort it in a extra mailfolder) - making it easy to explicitly filter for those later (e.g. when a rc is out to blog about the stuff people can test) > > I wonder whether for most test requests a Bug would be a more consequent > > solution. > > > > If there has not been a Bug report, the developer creates one with > > Status PLEASETEST (currently not used here), adds descriptions due to > > Bjoern's suggestions, everybody who did tests adds himself to "CC", and > > if someone finds a problem, he submits a new Bug with "Blocks Testbug". > > I believe that would reach possible testers more determined than > > announcements on qa mailing list. > > The bugzilla solution makes some sense because QA people work with > bugzilla a lot. Having a bug is a good idea in general, but promoting/enforcing it is tricky. E.g. policies like "you need to have a bug number for each commit" is causing lots and lots of trouble. It is great for real bugs, but does not work so well for metabugs/features/tiny fixes. Enforcing that at OOo let to evasion like the i#10000 bug number being used for "Im to lazy to write a real bug". And for features these bugs will fill up with "You should do it different! No, this is the way I wanted to implement it!"-discussions for which bugzilla isnt suited too well. > Well, I would prefer to keep this on the mailing list for now.
