Hi list, I'm after feedback on whether or not others think an explicit policy/contract regarding bug fixing responsibilities for new features is a good idea or not.
I would like to see something like this added to the developer guidelines: "Following any new feature development, it is the original developer's (or organisations) SOLE responsibility to implement bug fixes relating to the new feature (or regressions to other parts of QGIS which have resulted from its development). This extends up to the next major QGIS release following the feature being merged*. It is NOT acceptable to use QGIS.org sponsored bug fixing efforts to implement these fixes. Failure to provide fixes to all reasonable bug reports raised for a new feature may lead to that feature being reverted prior to release." *i.e. currently 3.14 Personally, I think having this as part of our developer agreement would help clear up some ambiguity and source of frustration/conflict between developers. Thoughts?
