Five Months of Bug Triage (Poelcat) [LWN.net]

Poelcat writes about the Fedora Bug Triage team. "It is also our hope that the bug triage team can help Fedora as project identify areas which need more attention. Some initial anger and frustration was directed at the "triage bot" for touching so many bugs and closing many others (for unmaintained releases) that had been filed but never responded to by anyone. This points to a potentially deeper problem that maybe in spite of Fedora's desire to grow its package repository it is also not staffed to address all of the resulting bug reports. The other side of this of course is that like all software projects, it simply isn't possible to fix every single bug. It is not fair to form hard conclusions on this until we have reviewed all the bugs in NEW and performed better analysis of the data."
