Hi Margarita,
It seems that you're trying to prepare a team like gnome bugsquad[0]. I
don't have enough time to help atm and i don't know if there's another
initiative like this into the project, starting right now.
I recommend you write something like the 'triage guide' and with ajt
help and maybe others simplify the BTS interface for "bugsquad" team
work.
Some "saved searches", usertags or whatever will be the name of this
debbugs feature, that i think will be useful for this team if used
together with the "today, yesterday, this week, this month" bugs:
- too old (x days) already patched, pending and l18n bugs
Code to check when the X tag was added will be required.
- release critical bugs
any RC bug
- etch release critical bugs
only etch considered RC bugs
If you go further and add a "claim" interface with a default expire for
a week or two ( to avoid a person claiming a bug and the others start
ignoring it for too much time ), it'll be even useful for BSP's and RM
team, imo.
