[Mageia-dev] Bugzilla mass assignee ping

2012-07-06 Thread Marja van Waes

Hi everyone,

Later today there'll be a mass assignee ping for Bugzilla.

Unfortunately, everyone in the cc of the bugs will receive the ping, too.

The only bugs that'll be pinged are that
* were assigned more than 2 weeks ago
* where the assignee didn't do anything to the bug since more than two 
weeks ago
* where the assignee didn't confirm the bug was assigned correctly by 
either setting status to ASSIGNED or by putting OK on the whiteboard and.


Bugs that are assigned to QA or Bug Squad won't be pinged, nor will 
Reporter = Assignee ones.


Enhancement requests and minor bugs won't be pinged either, nor will 
bugs that have the TRACKER or UPSTREAM keyword.


If you're the assignee and you don't have a clue whether the bug was 
assigned correctly or not, please put NEEDHELP on the whiteboard.


If you know it was *not* assigned correctly, please reassign to either 
the correct person or to Bug Squad, and explain.


Set status to ASSIGNED or put OK on the whiteboard if you don't want to 
be pinged in the same bug for the same thing again.


Cheers,
marja

Couldn't we use another method than this? Like using Bugzilla's native
whining feature, or an equivalent where each assignee only get
notified of his assigned bugs in a single mail listing those?

Not sure how useful it is.
I have received 25 emails so far in today's ping (and they keep coming).
Some of them because I am assignee, some because I am reporter, some I am in CC.
I probably need to take action on few of them but I currently don't
have time to check which ones so it is likely that I will end up
ignoring them all...

We'll remind you and everybody else who hasn't got time now :)

However, hopefully next time with mails that only the assignees will receive
