State of Fedora bug triage - some thoughts

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I've recently started doing bug triage for the Fedora Project. I figured that I would be joining others in doing this - however, found that the state of affairs was pretty sad - there's no defined leadership, no guidelines for participation, etc. Here's a general list of what needs to be improved:
  • Defined leader to be established (I volunteer for this task)
  • Establish weekly meetings on IRC
  • Establish official procedures for becoming a traiger, possibly including a sponsorship system such as other Fedora projects to ensure quality triage, though I do not want to create an excessive barrier to entry.
  • Interface with core maintainers of various packages
  • Interface with Fedora QA inside of Red Hat
  • Interface with Fedora board, various Steering Committees, and other relevant parties.
Some ideas that have come up from the community are below:

A separate bugzilla instance for Fedora (I don't think that this is especially workable or desirable)
Incentives for triaging
Breaking triage out into individual development teams/projects

More to come.
