--- Comment #5 from Dereckson <[email protected]> 2012-10-16 18:49:45 UTC --- The point I'm trying to make is I would prefer developers closes themselves bug with relevant comments if needed or allow the discussion about the bug to go on when needed. * * * I would also like to stress two of the newly appointed bug wrangler objectives: (1) Grow a community of volunteer bug responders who help transfer issue reports from other communication channels to the bug tracker, and who share bug management responsibilities (2) Clean up and organize the existing bug tracker backlog, identifying duplicated and outdated bugs This translates a willingness to assign such bug closure responsibility to humans, instead to automated systems. * * * Now we can help to automatically close bug, adding a feature in Gerrit offering to close the bug at merge time, as you offered for patches. * * * "Yesterday, there were 8 548 open bug reports in MediaWiki. Should we take Wikipedia offline until they are all fixed?" doesn't constitute a logical argument, as: (1) the number of open bugs is quantitative, the way we close bug is qualitative; (2) the 8 548 bugs are in the immense majority bug not yet resolved or analyzed, not bugs resolved with forgotten closure; (3) there is no need to close Wikipedia to fix bugs (we use continuous integration processes) (and by the way, not all open bugs are related to components used on Wikimedia projects); (4) you start with the hypothesis 8 548 open bugs is bad and this amount should be decreased, I beg to differ, this proves we've a living bug report ecosystem, with users finding bugs and asking new features. Why do you use such catastrophic exaggeration in a constructive dialog to find the better way to improve bugs handling? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
