"Old untouched bugs"
* What are they? Bugs reported without _any_ change for more than:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 2 years
* How to close them:
- Let reporter to try a new version of GNOME and close as WONTFIX or OBSOLETE (we can close _a lot_ of bugs)
Let reporter to try a new version of GNOME and set NEEDINFO -> new Bugsquad/TriageGuide/StockResponses
AndreKlapper: For example Fedora closes as WONTFIX after some time, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447225#c3 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447225#c4. Could be adapted with some changes at least to the core GNOME modules - broader scope more complicated as we don't know about release plans of every single project... ||

Bugs with 1 year without any activity (not enhacement bugs) -> set NEEDINFO state -> 6 weeks without response -> close as INCOMPLETE |

AndreKlapper will do a new stock response for this case. He will warn the reporter that he has 6 weeks to respond before the bug being closed |
NEEDINFO bugs: how long before closing it as INCOMPLETE:

What to do with bugs about deprecated modules?
DISCUSSED |
|
1) |
Talk to maintainer first and get agreement (CC bugsquad list) |
2) |
Add a warning comment that module is now deprecated and to please check against potential new module and set status to NEEDINFO |
3) |
Otherwise close 6 weeks later if untouched, set flag obsolete-module-2009 or something else |
