As I mentioned earlier as a part of the group review process I wanted to discuss the criteria used for evaluating an application to the Bug Control team. To start the discussion I'll list the things I like to see in an application[0]. I'm really most interested in the five bugs that they provide in their application as their answers for the first four questions are generally the same.
Criteria in no particular order: 1) I really haven't seen as many applicants providing an importance for any Undecided bug reports in their application. I'd like to make this an immediate bounce of the application. 2) Are they respectful and tactful when communicating with bug reporters and developers? 3) Are their comments detailed and do they explain their actions? This is particularly important when marking duplicates or converting bugs to a question. Bugs can also be a useful place to educate people about bug work. 4) Are they following the debugging procedures for a package or subsystem? It'd be really neat to find out if they've updated any debugging pages too. 5) Have they modified any bug descriptions and bug titles? This is an underperformed action, in my opinion, which is quite helpful. 6) Have they added any bug watches? Just linking to an upstream report is quite helpful. 7) Have they forwarded any bugs upstream? I mean registered in an upstream tracker and reported the bug there. Additionally, I've written a python script for parsing a bugs mailing list mbox for messages from a particular person. Here is some example output: Brian Murray added tags: 40 Brian Murray marked as duplicate: 30 Brian Murray assigned to package: 28 Brian Murray unmarked as duplicate: 28 Brian Murray confirmed: 25 Brian Murray incompleted: 24 Brian Murray invalidated: 22 Brian Murray titles modified: 8 Brian Murray descriptions modified: 8 Brian Murray fix released: 5 Brian Murray added bug watches: 2 The absolute numbers themselves aren't important, nobody will match Pedro ;), but what I find interesting is the types of actions that people have performed. I've started using this to clean up the older pending members of team just by looking for inactivity. I'd be happy to distribute the script or add numbers when applications come in. Again I welcome any comments and your opinions. [0] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl -- Brian Murray @ubuntu.com
