[wtp-dev] Re-Inventing Hot List

I’d like to start the conversation about how we can improve the Adopter Hot List process going forward. Here is a proposal to get us started. Feel free to poke holes in it...

 

This proposal places more emphasis on the severity field and establishes a strict release exit criteria for high severity issues. A triage committee (composed of PMC members or their designated replacements) would be established in order to resolve disagreements over the severity and other issues.

 

  • In order to exit a release all S1 (Blocking Severity) and S2 (Critical Severity) bugs targeted to that release have to be resolved. Additionally, there should not be any untargeted/uninvestigated S1/S2 bugs. The triage committee can push bugs of lower severity that are targeted to that release to the next release if there isn’t sufficient time remaining in order to resolve them.
  • All S1/S2 bugs will be reviewed at the weekly status meetings. The severity as set by the originator can be challenged. The triage committee will arbitrate and have the power to assign a lower severity if necessary.
  • Anyone can submit a bug of a lower priority to the weekly status meeting agenda in order to get the status or to request a targeting decision.
  • A bug is only targeted to a particular release when a dev has made a commitment to work on it for that release.
  • Once a bug is targeted, that setting cannot be changed without the approval of the originator or the triage committee. This applies to all bugs regardless of the severity.

 

I believe that if the above process is implemented and abided by than we no longer need the Adopter Hot List. Thoughts?
