1 Hi,
2
3 After a discussion on IRC, a few of us were considering the value of
4 adding suggestions on handling of bugs in Bugzilla from a developer (and
5 editbugs user) perspective.
6
7 These is the simplest set I have to start, but I'd really like other
8 comments and ideas.
9
10 1. General case
11 - You should only close bugs that you are assigned or if you (or an alias
12 you represent) just fixed them.
13 - If you fix a bug and AREN'T already getting mail for it, you should
14 add yourself to the CC list, to listen for regressions or responses
15 to TESTREQUEST.
16
17 2. Special cases
18 2.1. STABLEREQ, KEYWORDREQ
19 The last arch on the list should close the bug when they have completed
20 the action.
21
22 2.2. Security bugs
23 The developer should comment, but ONLY members of the security team
24 should:
25 - change whiteboard
26 - add/remove arches
27 - change bug status/reso
