Bug management

The Bugmeister is an individual hired by the Wikimedia Foundation to manage bugs in Bugzilla. Since January 2011, the MediaWiki bugmeister is Mark A. Hershberger (user: MarkAHershberger; committer: mah; irc: hexmode).

Over the beginning of 2011, the Bugmeister will
 * write documentation for filing bugs
 * work to design and develop a friendly way (perhaps an extension) to allow Wikipedia users to report problems and record them in Bugzilla
 * coordinate, triage, and organize the current bugs in Bugzilla
 * coordinate the release of MediaWiki 1.18

See Bugzilla Usage for an explanation of how the Bugmeister is using Bugzilla.
