Hello, you're receiving this e-mail because the Gnome bug-squad has started a new volunteer effort, and we would like some information from you about your module. We are trying to gather information that the bug-squad believes will decrease the workload of maintainers and also increase the cooperation between them and the bug-squad. This project is to gather a list of product-specific triaging guidelines that will be linked from the current bug-squad triage guide. Requested information guidelines: We are looking for a short, bulleted list, of 4 items or less. One of these items could be a link to another page with more detailed guidelines, if you feel more elaboration is needed. If you would like some other kind of special guidelines, please feel free to contact the bug-squad about it (gno...@gn...). Goal: To help the bug-squad assist you, as the maintainer, in fixing bug reports, getting proper information from improperly filled bugs and other circumstances that might arise for your particular module. This will thus eliminate the need for you as a maintainer to check the validity of reported bugs and give you more time to work on more important things. Here is an example guideline for the Gnome-Terminal module Gnome-Terminal -If a backtrace shows that it is crashing in function names starting with "vte_" please reassign the bug to "vte" component -If the bug is a crasher or is related to fonts: -Ask the user to verify that they are not getting any warnings on stderr from fontconfig or freetype Once we receive all the information we will take it and upload it to the web page. Once this is done we will email you and inform you as to where the updated information is located. However, if you don't have any information at the moment or are too busy, feel free to email the bug-squad (gno...@gn...) at any time in the future. We're also open to any suggestions you may have. |
