I've received some feedback suggesting that some contributors may not
always be aware of what open issues are available to work on, and,
perhaps more importantly, what regressions they may have caused.
Is there a volunteer who would like to help prepare a regular list of
P3-and-higher PRs, together with -- where known -- the name of the
person responsible for the checkin which caused the regression? Or, is
this something that could be automated through Bugzilla, perhaps by
adding a pointer to the SVN revision at which the regression was introduced?
The goal would be to send a weekly/bi-weekly reminder to the list, and
to the responsible parties, to help remind those of us who've caused
problems to clean them up. I know that this would help me, both as a
developer and as the RM: as RM, it would help me see what's going on,
and as a developer, it would encourage me to clean up my messes, even
when I'm busy.
What do others think?
Thanks,
