Re: Call for volunteers: tracker triage (it's easy!)

mike.kupfer(a)xemacs.org writes: Except for the OP ;-), yes. The OP should include a test or recipe, or a pointer to a corroborating report (superseding it in the tracker if appropriate). Well, what I had in mind was providing a feature where any registered User could register themselves as Developer (see issue284). The other thing I should do is add the logged-in user to that menu (new issue296, flagged "urgent"). I think only volunteers (including all Reviewers ex oficio) should be assigned issues by others. I want Assigned-To to have at least minimal commitment semantics: somebody has accepted specific responsibility for it. In the case of a third-party assignment, it should be to somebody who will at least take the time to unassign the issue if they don't want it. :-) Even though package maintainers have accepted responsibility for their packages, I don't think package maintainers need to be qualified to *fix* bugs. They just need to know who can fix them, and how to find those people. So I'm leery of making them Developers ex oficio. NB: I'm going to go ahead and implement the suggestions above because they're better than the current situation, but they're not set in stone.
