18 Well originally I was going for "any bug that a dev thinks has merit",
19 but after reading some of the replies I'm now leaning towards "any bug
20 that a dev submits a fix for". And I've also fielded the idea that it
21 only be mandatory for certain critical products such as Portage.
22
23 Maybe as a start, the Developer's Guide can be revised to state that:
24
25 "Ideally any bug that a fix is submitted for should be verified and peer
26 reviewed. It should be verified by the reporter or another user. If the
27 reporter or another user are unable or unwilling to verify the fix, the
28 Team Lead should take responsibility for the verification. Ideally, all
29 bug fixes should be peer reviewed by the Team Lead and/or other team
30 members before the bug is marked as RESOLVED.
31
32 The following products have been deemed critical, and therefor must
33 follow the above process:
34
35 X
36 Y
37 Z"
38
39 Then it becomes a completely optional 'best practice' for the vast
40 majority of bugs.
