BTW, when I check the open bug data, I find that a new variable is introduced
with new bugzilla for field "severity" - janitors. We do not include the bugs
marked as janitors in "Yocto Weekly Open bug Trend(Severity)". My thinking
is that janitors is similar with enhancement. We could treat it as
enhancement(with weight value "0"), or if we think it should be included into
WDD, we could set a weight value for it. How do you think of it?
Fortunately, we only have 4 bugs marked as janitors, and they are all new
reported last week. We could simply update the bug trend once we make the
decision.
I suggest we make the janitor severity the same as low in the WDD calculation.
I don't know what "low" would map to. The key says:
"The weight we use for each severity: Critical:10, Major:7, Normal:5,
Minor:3, Enhancement:0 "
In my view, Janitors should be marked the same as Enhancement, 0. If a
bug is important enough to track and impact release, it shouldn't be a
janitors bug, which by definition are intended to sit in a pool for
new-comers and irregular contributors to pick up.
I did talk briefly with Dave earlier and it was hard to decide whether
these were minor or enhancement in nature. Enhancements are about adding
new functionality, bugs of whatever severity are about issues in
existing features. Janitor class issues could be in either category so
you can argue this both ways from that perspective.
Did we end up deciding to have a janitor user to assign these too in the
end or are they going to remain with various people until assigned? If
the latter, I'd hate to see the WDD being skewed against people due to
high numbers of janitor bugs so that might sway my argument.
Last I spoke with Michael (added to CC), the plan was to assign these to
a default "Yocto Janitor" id. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to set
this up for automatic assignment like we do for "component owner", as
Janitor bugs are currently identified by severity.
We can just take care of this during bug creation or triage manually.
Sau!
