Another idea crossed my mind when I was bug-wrangling the other day, |
| 10 |
that could help, until Robin's "automatic assignment computation of |
| 11 |
bugs"[1] gets implemented and becomes reality. What if we create a |
| 12 |
partial-bug-wranglers mail alias, write a cron job to calculate |
| 13 |
statistics from from the bug-wranglers queue and send mails to that |
| 14 |
alias according to various rules eg. to send mail when the queue passed |
| 15 |
a limit of bugs eg. 100 or 200 unassigned, or statistics about how many |
| 16 |
bugs that were reported before more than a week are still in the queue. |
| 17 |
This way, people like me, who are willing to do partial bug-wrangling, |
| 18 |
they just add themselves in the alias and get activated only when the |
| 19 |
queue is huge or there are many old bugs around. The mails could work |
| 20 |
well as a reminder and we avoid the huge bug-wranlgers mail traffic when we |
| 21 |
monitor them in bugzie. I don't have time now, to implement any of this, |
| 22 |
I don't know even if it's a good idea, but if you like it, I could try |
| 23 |
to write a working script in some weeks (thanks to Jeremy(darkside) for showing |
| 24 |
me the pybugz magic and Christian(idl0r) for the curl magic). |
