Personally I prefer issues to be verified by someone other than the person who did the work. I think our community here is large enough to allow this to happen.

However, doing so does add overhead on the community.

The way we do it on some projects is that we make it part of the testing cycle for a release. That is, once a release candidate has been packaged we ask community members (need not be committers) to test new features and bug fixes that have been resolved but not closed.

This does mean that issues remain in the resolved state for some time, but it also means we have a fairly solid testing plan for release candidates. Assuming that the new features/bug fixes have been tested during the development cycle there should be no reason for this to slow down a release (significantly).

What do others think?

Subject:        Issue Triage (Thanks Matt)

Matt,

Thanks for looking after the issue tracker for us. It's an important job
that so often gets neglected.

We should all chip in to this kind of task whenever we have a few
moments spare for Rave.

JIRA allows quite complex filters to be set up, I'm happy to set any up
that the team think might be useful. For example:

"Issues with no activity for>  30 days"
