Description Axel Krebs 2012-09-15 12:12:57 UTC

when I was browse digikam buslist, I find some dublettes spontaneouly.

In introductional remarks, peaople from KDE bugtracking system talk about half of 2new" bugs, which have been described already...

Many bugs refer to oldish stuff which might haven been resolved since years.. 

For this background, I suggest the following:

A maintainer/admin should be able to address to those people who made the accourding bug reports.

Why not simply ask those people (by hidden(!!) massmailing), if these bugs are still value at all?

If not,  erase those messages after some weeks delay.

The bugs list hould not be allowed to increase without limits- the more everyone had to checks if opening a new bug-report, the less chances we'll experience, everyone does this... 

On the other side. the lesse everyone needs to read, the more he/she can concentrate on reading and wirting new bug reports.

Axel

Though this is a good idea, some maintainers have active teams that scan all reports and where this behaviour is not wanted. We would need to configure this per 'product'. This would need to be part of a bigger bugs.kde.org-masterplan.
