The BugZappers subproject has the following responsibilities:
#REDIRECT [[BugZappers]]
 
* Triage Fedora bugs in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla].  Request missing information, verify correct component has been chosen, and close duplicates.
* Nominate "target" and "blocker" bugs ([[BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Trackers|tracked here]]) that should be fixed before the next release, according to the [[QA/ReleaseCriteria|release criteria]].
* Perform [[BugZappers/HouseKeeping|housekeeping]] during release EOL ("End of Life") transitions in coordination with [[ReleaseEngineering]].
 
== Help Wanted ==
 
Triaging bugs helps package maintainers spend more time on actually fixing bugs, and provides needed assistance to other Fedora users.  No programming knowledge is necessary, and triagers don't necessarily need to understand the bugs they are working on - just help others communicate about them.
 
To find out more about why and how to become a BugZapper, see [[BugZappers/Joining|Joining]].
 
== Coordination and Communication ==
 
* [[BugZappers/Tracking|Tracking]] - Find bugs to work on, track progress against our goals
* [[BugZappers/ActiveTriagers|ActiveTriagers]] - Find out who's working on what
 
Channels of communication outside the wiki:
* [https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list fedora-test-list] mailing list - Announcements and conversations about bug triage and general [[QA]]
