1 All,
2
3 I realize that comrel is a thankless job, but it is an important one
4 that helps preserve the health of the community.
5
6 To facilitate this, I think we need to have some changes in the way comrel
7 operates, so I would like to propose them here to see what other folks think.
8
9 Since comrel is a special TLP like QA, I think the comrel lead, like
10 the qa lead, should be confirmed by the council.
11
12 When an issue is filed with comrel, the issue should be addressed
13 within a reasonable time frame. As someone who has filed issues, I have
14 seen them sit for months with no action taken.
15 With all respect to comrel, this is unacceptable. You have a published
16 policy for how you will process issues, so follow it. If you don't, it
17 is very upsetting for users/developers who reach out to you for
18 assistance, weakens your credibility, and by extension negatively affects the
19 reputation of the entire Gentoo community.

21 To promote more transparency with comrel, I would like to
22 require the comrel lead to send a report to the gentoo-project list monthly
23 containing these statistics for the previous month:
24
25 - number of bugs received
26 - number of bugs pending (this is for bugs that are currently in process)
27 - number of bugs resolved by actions (such as talking to
28 developers or disciplinary action)
29 - number of bugs closed without action
30
31 - number of mediation requests received
32 - number of mediation requests resolved
33 - number of mediation requests escalated to bugs
34 - number of mediation requests dismissed without action
35
36 The comrel lead should be replaced if this report is not sent for three
37 consecutive months.
38
39 What do others think?
40
41 Thanks,
42
43 William
