Re: [epp-dev] Eclipse bug reporting query

Hi Ian, 

I had a related query. I would appreciate if you could answer this too. 

Does the committer also reassign the severity level for the bug? Users may assign severity level of critical, although the bug actually may be only major one. Is it changed by the committer?

Thanks,
Sandeep

Sandeep,

I am pretty sure not everyone knows which product/component to select when
opening a bug. However, in most cases the committer who triages the bug will
reassign to the correct category.

Subject: [epp-dev] Eclipse bug reporting query

Hello,

I have a couple of questions about the bug reporting procedure for Eclipse.
I looked at several bug reports and am wondering if it is possible that one
may not be sure of what product or component the bug is actually present in.
I had the following questions.

1) Do all the end users know the product/component/subcomponent where the
bug is present? What if someone doesn't know?

2) If an end user reports a bug but with an incorrect product/component
field, then do the developers who fix the bug change this field at some
later stage?

I would appreciate any pointers or links to answer these questions.

Thanks,
Sandeep Krishnan
