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

Alex,
 
it might be not important for *you*, but it is important for others.
 
If closing bugs is pointless, so why do we do that, especially if both committers and users are upset?
 
Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

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.
 
You nailed it! It's pointless discussion whether bugs are autoclosed or not aka stay open without anyone looking into it or being closed without anyone looking into it. What's important is who will triage and fix bugs, look into gerrits and etc.? I'm very interested in the later discussion and until we improve on it, discussing the former is just non-important to me.

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.
