Hi, Klaas, Christian
In short :
Having a bug assigned to project Inbox means nothing
(I guess it’s only done to send automatic emails to registered users)
My 2 cents :
It seems to me that when a bug is created it is automatically assigned to Project Inbox (Check the newly created bug [1])
Here is the process I follow for
[SysML 1.4] bugs :
-
Try to reproduce the bug
-
If reproduced pass the Bug Status from UNCONFIRMED To NEW
-
When someone works on it the set the Assigned To
-
When someone is identified for the (Gerrit) review set the QA Contact
-
When the gerrit patch is merged pass the Bug Status to CLOSE FIXED
I believe that it is the standard workflow for Bugzilla
(Except that I should probably use Fixed after the merge and move everything to close after the release & release note
publication)
For SysML 1.1:
-
I try to add [SysML 1.1] in the title when the bug isn’t present in SysML 1.4
-
For me, these bugs could be pass to CLOSE WON’T FIX when SysML 1.1 will be removed from the release train
-
In the meantime : No idea
Regards,
Benoit

Objet : Re: [mdt-papyrus.dev] Governance - SysML 1.1 editors - semantics of ASSIGNED
I have the same understanding as you about the meaning of assigned state, when the assignee is an identifiable committer/contributor. When the assignee is the inbox, that is the Papyrus team’s way of indicating that the triage process
has confirmed the validity of a bug without actually assigning it to a specific person and milestone.
For myself, I try always to set the assigned state, myself as the assignee, and a specific target milestone when I actually schedule work on a bug. It doesn’t mean that I’m starting to work on it, just that I am committing (as much as
that is realistic) to completing it by that milestone. A question for the team: is it general practice to assign bugs to oneself before working on them? I often see bugs resolved that are still assigned to the inbox. And do we consistently use the target
milestone field?
So, anyways, I don’t know whether it’s feasible for you to filter bugzilla queries to exclude assigned bugs that don’t have target milestones and/or are assigned to the inbox, because I would expect that many of those would actually be
“in play” for this release.

Hi Papyrus developers,
(This email focuses on the SysML 1.1 editors, although the question might
be considered more general)
As mentioned in Bug 427378, I noticed that there are quite a (whole) lot
of SysML 1.1 bugs in the ASSIGNED state (and have been in that state for
ages). I¹m not sure what the (agreed) meaning of assigned is in the
papyrus project, but to the end user it is currently _very_ unclear if
anything is going to happen to a bug in the ASSIGNED state. [*]
My personal definition of ASSIGNED would be that work is going to start on
that bug in a to-be-defined-but-fixed period starting from the moment the
bug is in the assigned state.
For instance, my _impression_ is that nothing is going to happen to (all)
the (non-critical) SysML 1.1 bugs unless somebody stands up and says
he/she wants to fund them, right?
Wouldn't it be more honest/realistic to either put these bugs in a
NEW/CONFIRMED state (or close these bug as CLOSED WONTFIX)?
BR,
Klaas
[*] This would for instance also allow to clearly answer (the tons of)
forum posts questions such as
