Hello Dani,

I just bumped into another situation where "followup" is needed.

I submitted a patch for review and I'd like to followup on the patch being merged. If it's not reviewed (ex the reviewer is on
holiday), then I could request another contributor to review the patch.
In such case the 'needinfo' keyword doesn't quite work.

Does anyone have any suggestion for such a situation? (I couldn't find a suitable keyword).

Thank you

Leo

    Hi Leo

    Whenever we ask a question we add the 'needinfo' keyword. We can then query for bugs with that keyword and close those who
    didn't change for a while.

    There's also service running that pings on our bugs every year and adds "stalebug" to the Whiteboard field.

    Hello fellow SWT developers,

    I'm just playing around with a thought (before submitting a bug ticket..) and would like to hear your thoughts.

    In our bugzilla instance, there is no way (afaik) to schedule a followup on a bug *via the web-interface*.

    Use case: When user submits a bug and we ask a user a question, if there is no reply within 2 weeks, I would like to close the
    ticket.

    I know Mylyn can do this, but when some other developer asks a question to some user, we do not see their private Mylyn data and
    some bug tickets get forgotten in time. Also, although I like to use Mylyn, not everyone uses it.


    *One solution to this:*

    In the Red Hat bugzilla, there is a 'Deadline' date field:


    And with Bugzilla query, you can query relative dates.
    So for example to find tasks that are past their deadline:

    See: _http://docs.devzing.com/bugzilla-searching-with-relative-dates/_
    <http://docs.devzing.com/bugzilla-searching-with-relative-dates/>

    My suggestion is that we request our Bugzilla admins to add a "Followup/Due" date datetime field. (or just "Followup" datetime
    field).

    Thoughts?
