Help with the automated triaging efforts _only where_ the corresponding bugzilla components are flooded with tickets actually. [Take a look at one of Dave Jones' recent blog entries where he listed some statistics about bug numbers since FC1.] Create groups of components, so the bug count adds up for large pieces of software like Xorg, KDE, etc. Next, calculate the bug count per assignee, to see whether any particular person receives an excessive number of bugs. But don't threaten to close tickets where an assignee is _not_ buried beyond hundreds of bugs. Those are the cases where something is wrong, where a small number of tickets is not dealt with for unknown reasons, possibly applying the AWOL process is much more appropriate in those cases. Or is it asked to much to demand a sign of life from the maintainer? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
