-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Kevin, open bugs alone are never the issue. We can have millions of them open and still being able to manage things in sanely manner.
So if the issue is not open bugs as whole, what it can be? Open bugs for specified area. Imagine you work on KDE, you fire up your bugzilla and start watching whats going on. Currently we have around 200 open bugs, which is manageable. But at one point we got nearly to 500 where we really lost any track of what the heck is happening. The goal should be that projects itself should focus and try to lower their bug count or introduce simple queries for their members to have reduced number of the bugs in their list. Open bugs are good, they are reminder that we should look to issues, even if it just means testing and stating that the things were fixed in meantime. Closing them would not solve anything. Only problematic parts of the bugzilla are unmaintained areas (herds) of the tree where the bugs have tendency to grow. The fix itself is not to close those bugs, but motivate some guys to work on that area and became developers so that bug number effectively became manageable.
