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
