Hi all,
I've put a .png image in http://perso.wanadoo.es/larocha/debian/brs.png
I suggest you to take and print it before continue reading.
I've reading carefully answers to my post and I agree that an indiscriminate
mailing may be counterproductive.
So I've changed my mind and this are my ideas now:
- Make a program to view bugs.
- This program would let:
- Ask Bug Tracking System for bug details
- Ask user (submitter) if bug must be closed
- Suggest maintainer to close
- Bypass.
- Save a log of what happens with bug.
- Bug assigned
- Ask the BTS for Details
- Details arrived
- Ask user at nnnn-submitter@bugs.debian.org
- User answer
- User bounces
- Suggestion to close
- Bypass (Must be open)
- Send user answer to maintainer (Must be open)
¨May be send answer to BTS and notify to Maintainer?
- Save a log of what the reviser does. (Only process results)
- Send this log to a superviser.
- Get a group of bugs to check from superviser.
- All communicacions would be done thru email.
- In order to accomplish this goals the BTS system must be interrogated for
bugs between dates. I don't know how this can be done because I don't know
BTS internals.
- Somebody must have control over a group of revisers. This superviser is who
will interrogate the BTS system and receive revisers log.
- Merged bugs: only bug with lower number should be processed by reviser.
- To be done with perl/Tk & procmail.
------------------------------
Other ideas:
- Once this program be finished, Applicants on New Maintainers queue may be
invited to participate in this "closed bug hunting". May be in program
development & testing too.
- I think those communications must have the Debian-qa signet so predefined
emails must be carefully redacted in order to be taked seriously and obtain
all possible information. (When I write in English I feel like a 6 years old
English-spoken child) :-(
