Your response just preempted a fairly similar reply: I'd quite like to see something like a -bugs "swat" team: a couple of people who are essentially prepared to *accept* rather than assign responsibility for resolving PRs. If a PR is unresolved, unclaimed, and X days old, someone on the swat team takes responsibility for it. In simple cases, it just gets dealt with immediately: closed or committed. Otherwise, the issue is reviewed/researched and a solution is proposed, and this gets posted back to -bugs, preferably in a standard format. X days elapse again, during which anyone can again step in to claim or resolve the PR differently, and anyone can discuss the proposed solution. Once the second period is up, if the PR is still unresolved, the (adjusted) proposal is simply implemented. > > BTW, what's the bug rate these days? Stuff that isn't -ports and -doc material: usually in the 0-9 per day range, I'd estimate. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
