Thanks. Let me try discussion, although this should probably be discussed elsewhere. I'm happy to continue the conversation wherever you prefer. * According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Bugzilla_etiquette (draft), "bug status, priority and milestone should reflect reality (in summary form), they do not cause it. If in doubt, read about the meaning of the fields and do not change them, but add a comment suggesting the change and convincing reasons for it" * According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields#Priority , "priority should normally be set by the developers who plan to work on the bug (or by the bugwrangler), not by the one filing the bug or by outside observers" * According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers , the maintainers of MobileFrontend are "the WMF mobile team, especially Arthur Richards" (all CCed here) * According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_wrangler , Andre's role includes "working closely with product managers and developers to prioritize, categorize and assign bugs based on Mediawiki features and extensions" * According to Gerrit you don't seem to be a regular contributor to this extension. For all these reasons I believe that you, me, or anybody else interested in this area but not developing for it are not entitled to enter prioritization wars. This is Bugzilla, and all of us work here to improve things, but if a maintainer or the bug wrangler defines explicitly a priority and you still disagree then the solution is not to revert again. MZMcBride, I'm not attempting to discuss your points in this and other related reports. I have no opinion about the topic. However, I do have an opinion about the usefulness of prioritization wars in Bugzilla. After many years seeing them happening in various reports of different projects the pattern is always the same: a first round might have some justification but after some back-and-forth they are always counterproductive, wasting people's energies and damaging community's collaboration and good mood. And all this for no good reason, since at the end the maintainers developing the component are the ones deciding what goes in it and when. They tend not to be convinced by users reverting their prioritizations in Bugzilla. You are a vet, and you know all this well. If you want to challenge the current priorities of the MobileFrontend, fine. You can bring your arguments here as you do, and you can also escalate to other venues in case you think more eyes and opinions are needed. Up to you. But please, let the Mobile team reflect here the current priorities they have for their plans. Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
