[llvm-dev] [Call for Volunteers] Bug triaging

Thu Nov 8 08:10:51 PST 2018

Hi,

Yesterday, I’ve landed a description for how reported bugs should be flowing through the various stages of a bug’s life (triage, fixing, closing, …) at http://llvm.org/docs/BugLifeCycle.html.
Thanks for the many many people who provided ideas and feedback for this!

With there now being a description of what is expected during bug triaging (http://llvm.org/docs/BugLifeCycle.html#triaging-bugs), we're looking for more volunteers to actually do the bug triaging.
About half of all raised bugs currently don’t seem to get triaged.

The idea is to have one or more volunteers for each of the well over 100 different product/component combinations we have in bugzilla.
If you volunteer to help with triaging bugs against a specific component, we’ll add you to the default cc list for that component, so that when a new bug is raised against that component, you’ll get notified automatically through email. For components with few reported bugs, a single triager may suffice. For the high-traffic components, we’ll probably need multiple volunteers.
I’ve provided the list of product/components below that had bugs reported against in 2018, together with how many bugs were reported against them this year so far, as an indication for which components may need more volunteers.

I do want to highlight the “new-bugs/new bugs”, “clang/-New Bugs” components as those tend to be components people file bugs against if they don’t have a clue which part of clang/llvm is causing the issue they’re seeing. I believe that you don’t need to be an expert to be able to triage most of those bugs. If you want to learn more about llvm, volunteering to triage those bugs may be an interesting way to learn a lot more yourself.

How can you get added to the default cc list/volunteer?
* Preferred way: raise a bug against “Bugzilla Admin”/“Products” to get yourself added to the default cc list of the components of your choice.
* Other way: email bugs-admin at lists.llvm.org<mailto:bugs-admin at lists.llvm.org>
* Yet another way: just reply to this mail.

Thanks,

Kristof
