9 So, let me get this straight ...
10
11 $now: Developer A makes a change to automake
12 $now+10min: Change is pushed to CI
13
14 ...
15 ...
16
17
18 $now + 2 weeks: Initial testrun done, 734 potential issues found
19 (and 2 weeks is a pretty generous optimistic estimate)
20
21
22 $now + 4 weeks: Triaging and 50% fixing done
23 $now + 8 weeks: Developer forgot about the issue while going on vacation
24
25 $now + 12 weeks: Developer B, unaware of the prior work, pushes the same
26 change again and waits 2 weeks too
27
28 etc. etc.
