Even if the visible problem is a less accurate Bugzilla hall of fame,
the actual problem is that a big bunch of developers don't notify when
they are taking a bug. This decreases transparency and increases the
chances of duplicated work.
Setting the assignee field makes sense when working on something for a
longer time so you don't duplicate work.
I don't see much advantage by setting an assignee for a quick fix (but
it's easier now as you only need to click "take" below the "Assigned
to"
field and don't need to enter your email address manually anymore).
Let's see. No mater how quick you fix is: isn't there a moment when you
are sitting in front of the bug report to see what needs to be fixed? Or
even if you manage to fix bugs by heart, isn't there a moment when you
are in front of the bug report, resolving it as FIXED?
Anonymous developer: whenever you are in this situation, please click
"take". It's extra 5 seconds at most. Thank you. :)
I consider Gerrit a way better place when it comes to
creating
statistics about bug *fixes* ("RESOLVED FIXED" in Bugzilla terms).
Obviously I exclude any other Bugzilla resolutions here. :)
Not all bugs are related with Gerrit. But in any case: sure, where is
the link to the data? I'll do my best adding that data to the metrics
reports.
In the meantime, those Bugzilla links are the best data point I could get.
