Hi folks,
Currently, we have a 'LATER' resolution in Bugzilla, it contains 339 bug
reports over all the products, see:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_i…
The question is, when is LATER? Technically, these bugs are not open and
so
nobody will ever see them again and that's how they will be forgotten.
To me, it seems that bugs that are labeled LATER should either be
labeled:
1) WONTFIX, which I guess is the majority of these bugs
2) WORKSFORME, I am sure some things have been fixed
3) NEW, it is a real bug / feature request.
So why not do a mass change from LATER to NEW, and give them a fresh pair
of eyes? and remove the LATER option from Bugzilla.
Best,

This ->
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18082
Is not really WONTFIX, nor FIXED, nor WORKSFORME... and do you really want
it marked as an open bug when it won't be implemented at all for ages
until browsers actually have feature support that would make it possible
to implement?
Sounds like a bad way to make our list of open bugs grow in a needless way
and cloud up real bug reports we can and want to fix, with bug reports
that won't be fixable for quite awhile due to external sources.
