Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] bugs.g.o: Merging UNCONFIRMED & CONFIRMED into NEW

1 Hello, everyone.
2
3 Here's my second RFC wrt bugs.gentoo.org redesign.
4
5 Right now we have separate UNCONFIRMED and CONFIRMED states for bugs.
6 However, we use the two scarcely. I believe it would be beneficial to
7 replace the two with a single NEW state.
8
9 Rationale:
10
11 1. Most of developers don't care about the two states, and which one
12 bugs are in.
13
14 2. All bugs need to be handled the same, whether they were marked as
15 confirmed or not.
16
17 3. We stage bugs through bug-wranglers@ which kinda has a similar
18 purpose to the UNCONFIRMED state in other Bugzillas.
19
20 4. Some people who actually care about the two states change them,
21 causing unnecessary bugspam.
22
23 5. Some users who think that the state matters get furious about bugs
24 staying in UNCONFIRMED for long.
25
26 Your thoughts?
