Hi. Hope this is a minor>major misspelling only :). Otherwise don't you think that this is a waste of scarce resources to do it every minor release, considering backlog in UNCONFIRMED bugs? Personally I would recheck them in alfa stage of next major release with a hope that there will be a patch coming before EOL of a branch. As LO is riding time based release train and most MABs are very old and known issues I would not suspect that unassigned MAB is accidentally fixed in few weeks time between minor releases by unknown untagged commit. Best regards. Side note: Unfortunately in this project not many goals are specified on wiki pages or in bugs and you do not know what is on schedule to be fixed by a regular commiting developer in near future (and I know that plans are only plans and everything can change). I see a lot of great fixes in commit messages on master spanned across multiple commits - unfortunately I can't read about them in single bug on Bugzilla or wiki pages (luckily sometimes there are commit notes). Unfortunately some changes won't be backported or are controversial and should be discussed with QA or during ESC meetings. Sometimes I have a feeling that a single commiter shapes the whole project in a way when his commit to master branch is accepted in Gerrit without any discussion or request for comments - accepted because "It looks good and works". Some of them will have influence on MABs. Therefore I think that every planned change to LO codebase should be available as a bug in Bugzilla, but this is more a wishful thinking maybe to be discussed on dev list some day.
