[ptp-dev] a note on bugs

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

In the past we've been fixing bugs and then leaving the status as  
RESOLVED and the resolution as FIXED. There are actually two more  
status types: VERIFIED and CLOSED. The intention is that once a bug  
is resolved, it will be tested (normally by the QA contact) and at  
that point changed to RESOLVED. Once the release happens, these bugs  
are then changed to CLOSED.

Now that we're becoming more "official" we need to be more vigilant  
about the bug status and who will QA the bugs. From now on, please  
make sure that all bugs are verified.

It seems sensible if the person QAing the bug is not the same as the  
person fixing the bug. So I propose the following:

Component:Owner:QA contact
Lang:Craig:Beth
PLDT:Beth:Craig
Core:Nathan:Randy
RM:Randy:Nathan
Debug Core:Clement:Greg
Debug UI:Clement:Greg
Debug SDM:Greg:Clement

I suggest that the QA be responsible for finding out how to test the  
fix. Component owners will need to provide this information when  
request by the QA.

I'm going to go through as many bugs as I can to start verifying. I'd  
appreciate it if others could do this too.

Greg
