Why Triage Bugs?

  • saves package maintainers time chasing down missing information in bug reports
  • helps to identify bugs that should be fixed before release (adding to tracker lists)
  • allows maintainers to spend their finite time on bugs that are ready to be worked on
  • gives bug reporters the feeling that someone has acknowledged their problem
  • strives to provide a level of certainty that the total number of open bugs is accurate
  • helps to maintain structure in bugzilla by following defined processes to close bugs for EOL releases
  • helps sift out duplicates which also reduces work loads on the maintainers
  • provides an idea of where problem areas are in the distribution
  • good way to learn more about Fedora
  • assist maintainers by reproducing bugs and suggesting work arounds or patches
