Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
So last time I wrote about this, we had a short surge in Bugzilla |
| 4 |
processing activity. However, it was really short and we've got |
| 5 |
noticeable backlog there again. Therefore, once again I'd like to |
| 6 |
propose to officially kill proxy-maint support for submitting stuff |
| 7 |
via Bugzilla, and limit submissions to GitHub pull requests and mailing |
| 8 |
list patches (with strong preference to the former). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The arguments remain the same: git (+ GitHub) is easier to use, easier |
| 11 |
to manage and has extra support tooling (assignment/verification bots, |
| 12 |
CI). Bugzilla doesn't have any of that. What we get instead, is 915 |
| 13 |
bugs with proxy-maint@ in CC, hardly with any ability to distinguish |
| 14 |
submissions, unanswered bugs and random bugs where people CC proxy- |
| 15 |
maint@ for the fun of it. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Given our current ability to process, I tend to answer pull requests |
| 18 |
that are 8-10 days old. If I were to address Bugzilla requests after |
| 19 |
pull requests, this means I'll never even get to it. Simple as that. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If someone wants to 'save' Bugzilla again, I'd really appreciate if that |
| 22 |
were backed by actual willingness to do the work long-term, and not just |
| 23 |
do it once to prove the point and leave us with another load of old bugs |
| 24 |
afterwards. |
