They have an overview by having handled many more bugs over a long period of time. Take Matej. He's been triaging all X.org bugs for months. He should have a fairly good idea of how important each issue is in context. > Secondly the developer(s)/maintainer(s) of the component are the only > one(s) capable of assessing the > severity of the report and thus adjust priorities to his/their > time/workload accordingly based on the content of that report. You don't provide any support for this, and there are plenty of existing systems where priority / severity are set as part of triage that seem to refute it. The proposal already specifically states that maintainers have the final say on these values. Triagers would only set them initially as a cue to maintainers. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
