Re: [platform-dev] Fwd: [Bug 305081] [api] IInstallableUnit#getFilter is

[Rolf Theunissen <rolf.theunissen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I fully agree. In fact, I consider any bug that is closed and marked as 'stalebug' as open.

Also, back in the day there seemed to be a different triage process, and correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that bugs that are marked as being triaged are not auto-closed. At least some very old bugs do not get auto-closed.

I know that it is hard to manage the huge back-log of issues. But there seems also hardly any focus on new incoming bugs, they are ignored until they are finally automatically closed, which gives a really bad impression on the overall quality of the projects.

I agree. It’s happened to many bugs I raised over the years even when they are provably still valid, and it gives a really bad impression to end users for limited gain.
