6 A pattern is starting to emerge, where by Sunday there are usually more
7 than fifty and sometimes up to a hundred unassigned bug reports waiting,
8 sometimes double that. It looks like a few people are doing basic
9 reviewing on a couple dozen bugs during the days that I work, but from
10 Saturday until Sunday, most bugs are filed and many get left to go
11 stale for days, contrary to the purpose of the bug-wranglers project,
12 which states that we should strive to assign bugs within a day (say 24
13 hours) after reviewing them and improving them. Since I work basically
14 from Wednesday until Sunday, most bug reports now get assigned somewhere
15 between Sunday and Wednesday. I'd have liked to give some better
16 statistics (and didn't we have some script for the LWN that did that?
17 Is it still running?) but I don't currently have them. Maybe Alex's
18 script could warn about the number of stale bugs (maybe having Status:
19 NEW; age > 24 hours) but I guess that would intrude too much on this
20 mailing list. It would certainly help to have some performance
21 statistics available on a regular basis.
