How many bugs are entered, on average, each week, or month?
For bugs that are resolved/verified/closed, what is the median time for a bug to reach that state?
Actually how many bugs in total are there, and how many are in some closed state and how many are in some open state?
While googling for info about Bugzilla I saw someone mention the idea of introducing a NEEDSMOREINFO status or resolution. This could be a good idea because then people who want to help improve bug reports can easily find which ones need work.
I was thinking for us, a status/resolution like HISTORICAL might be useful too, if somehow reports without activity for > 2 years could be automatically closed as HISTORICAL.
Who does have access to the admin side of Bugzilla? Is there anyone primarily responsible for it before Brion?
Looking at the Products, I notice that there is an "Issues" Product that is no longer offered when entering a new bug. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=Issues&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=
I suggest that this should also be done (ie, these Products should not be offered for new bug reports) for dbzip2, Kate's Tools, Logwood (apparently Logwood is http://www2.knams.wikimedia.org/ ? which says "sorry, the statistics are offline for the moment" in a rather permanent way anyway)
Also, it would be a good idea to add a link to the toolserver bugtracker ( https://jira.toolserver.org/ ) to direct users there for bugs relating to toolserver tools.
I created a page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla_products_and_components to describe some of the categories. I would appreciate clarification on Wikimedia>Downloads, Wikimedia>Usage Statistics and Wikimedia>wikibugs.
Also, what's the story with the 'Wiktionary tools' Product? They are using it for their site JavaScript scripts, is that the story?
And while I'm here... :) What is "My Requests" anyway? I think this was introduced with a Bugzilla upgrade. I understand "My bugs": bugs I reported - and "My votes": Bugs I voted for.
I noticed in the preferences there is an option "Enable tags for bugs" which has "Site default (off)". I would find this useful for tagging bugs that particularly affect Commons. Or maybe I should ask for a keyword to be added? https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/describekeywords.cgi Any thoughts about what the limits on the Keywords field should be?
thanks, Brianna
