Re: [platform-dev] Vote to stop bug auto-closing in all Eclipse platform projects
|
+1 to stop automatic closing, for two reasons:
1. Auto-closing without any developer input creates the perception of
bugs being completely ignored. Reopening a bug might be seen as futile
by the original reporter.
2. Auto-closed bugs are hidden from the developers. It's possible to
dig them up, but inconvenient enough to never happen.
If the situation is so drastic that many bugs in truth will never be
looked at, the users should be warned before they report a bug.
Perhaps even before they download the software.
