Description
(Being discussed on QA and Dev lists)
As mentioned in the ESC call, it could be helpful to add a new Bugzilla Status that encompasses bugs that have been abandoned/don't have enough data.
What type of bugs would this cover?
- User isn't willing to share private document with anyone, and we
can't reproduce - Bug sits in NEEDINFO status for 6+ months
- (other situations?)
Reasoning:
- We currently mark abandoned bugs as RESOLVED WORKSFORME, or RESOLVED
INVALID, but an additional Status value could help us be more precise
in indicating why a bug has been set aside. - An additional Status would allow us to be more diplomatic with tough
users, and avoid the potential negatives of "INVALID" or "WORKS FOR
ME" on such bugs
Naming:
A couple of names for this status have been offered, however newsuggestions are certainly welcome. Here are a few suggestions or
status values that are currently in use on other bug trackers:
- ABANDONED
- INSUFFICIENT DATA (RedHat)
- EXPIRED (Launchpad)
