bug in this status for 6 months



Hi,

that's to long. Be sure, the info provider will answer within a week or never. So it's common sense that a bug can be closed after 10-14 days if there is no answer and if it can be expected that it will not be possible to reproduce the bug with acceptable costs without denied info. I use Reminderfox and add a reminder (10 days later) for all Bugs I set to NEEDINFO, after 10 days (or later, workload ...) I close those bugs INVALID if there was no reply.

But sometimes there is additional discussion, users try to reproduce and so on and such bugs sink into oblivion. For those bugs Florinan' suggested PLEASETEST-reminder (what has not been accepted) might have had the advantage that a query would have been very easy.

I recommend that we agree to a standard sentence like "This bug will be closed after 14 days if requested information will not be provided. Additional information concerning the reasons for this proceeding and how you can reopen this Bug you can find at <jttp://...Wiki...>" , to be inserted by copy /paste from Wiki.

I strongly agree with Joel's suggestion to have a time limit in the Comment related to NEEDINFO status change.

Best regards

Rainer
