(I like the concept of a "rule of thump", but it would mean something different than the usual English idiom to which Thiago revised it.) Thiago Macieira replied (inter alia): > However, a wiki page giving rules of thumb of what may be acceptable > and what may not is a very good idea. I'd also be glad of such a page - I get to do bug triage (setting priority on newly submitted bugs) some sporadic weeks and would be glad of some guidance on what kinds of bug deserve what priority. As an illustration: when I use Debian's reportbug facility, it asks me about the severity (roughly corresponding to priority) of the issue and explains carefully (see [0]) what the Debian project's criteria are for each severity level. [0] https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities Having some similar explanation for the priorities we use would give some clarity and likely improve consistency among triagers. It'll surely retain some subjective element, but guidelines would give me more confidence that my evaluation is in line with consensus. Submitters might also get more of a sense of their reports being evaluated justly. Decisions about what should be considered for LTS are at least kindred to those for priority and it would make sense to document them together, Eddy. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
