Great! Couple of workflow questions:


Here's the workflow for the new system:
  ...
       2c-ii) If it cannot be reproduced, a comment is added to the
               bug to ask the original submitter if they can come
               up with another recipe (since we couldn't reproduce
               it) and the status remains PENDING. If we ever *can*
               reproduce it, we act as (2c-i) above. If we can
               *never* reproduce it, we change the status to
               RESOLVED and the resolution to CANT_REPRODUCE. The
               Target Milestone is then set to the targetted
               release version.

What time period elapses before it's decided to change to CANT_REPRODUCE. What should happen if it's changed to CANT_REPRODUCE while the user is still trying to come up with a recipe that works for the engineers? A too quick CANT_REPRODUCE could really push someone over the brink if they are going insane over a bug.


3) Bugs marked NEW are reviewed by the person to whom they were
   assigned. If the assignee feels that they are the right person to
   fix the bug, they change the status of the bug to ASSIGNED. If
   the assignee feels they are *not* the right person to fix the
   bug, the status is left as NEW, but the bug is reassigned to
   someone else, and the new assignee does the same review.

So when a bug is NEW, then it is actually "tentatively assigned", and an engineer is looking at it? When it's accepted by the engineer then it's declared ASSIGNED?


5) When a new interim build is released to the RunRev development
   team, the QA person will check the RESOLVED bugs against the new
   build. If a bug is actually fixed, the status is set to CLOSED.

Sounds solid.
