Backlog
Anybody is free to help and work on these items. Also check the open requests in Bugzilla about Bugzilla.


 * Continue documenting best practices in Bugzilla via blogpost miniseries. Anybody can do this! List of all episodes | Announcement on wikitech-l. Topics that are not covered yet and help is welcome:
 * Use of Whining Feature to receive reminders
 * How realistically are bug priorities set?
 * Organizing bugmail
 * Bugzilla's quick search, see Liz' post
 * Clean up: Triaging ancient likely invalid reports and closing of components:
 * Clean up / retest Calcey tickets and close them as RESOLVED WORKSFORME if not reproducible anymore, or set the whiteboard entry "aklapper-moreinfo" if not reproducible. Note: We can safely assume that Calcey reporters won't be responsive.
 * Feature requests under https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=Wiktionary%20tools should probably find a better place (Deprecated classification?), but disabled now anyway
 * "CodeReview" tickets might be WONTFIX (and the product should be closed for new bug entry but that latter part requires special permissions in Bugzilla): Find out by asking its maintainers/developers that nobody works on it anymore, as we have moved on to Gerrit for code review?
 * Triage remaining open tickets in the "mwEmbed" product (mostly superseded MWExtensions/TimedMediaHandler but still used as a fallback on some computers, e.g. older Microsoft Internet Explorer versions are great to test this) - see 54063
 * Cortado: Retest open tickets in that product (reason). See my question on the Xiph mailing list. - see 54063
 * Extension:Readerfeedback (open reports) has been superseded by ArticleFeedback(v5) which is also dead now, so these tickets might need to end up as WONTFIX too at some point.
 * General bug documentation updates:
 * Document and explain the main things that people do in a bug report: Should I comment or not? Add myself to CC? (This was OPW feedback from Valerie.)
 * Docs: Bug_management/Workflow explains which system is for which kind of requests, but needs cleanup, plus coverage of other tools such as https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/ (see Mingle), RT and E3's Trello: https://trello.com/b/FdtPTV2y as per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement_Experiments
 * Extend triage guide to also cover enhancement requests. This is a bit more special (e.g. when it comes to WONTFIXing etc.).
 * Bug documentation updates that require discussing with other stakeholders first:
 * Policy: Document to bump the "Version" field in bug report if still reproducible in newer version
 * Make meanings of resolutions/statuses clearer (in Bug_report_life_cycle or How_to_triage?), e.g. when to set WONTFIX (and when not), and after how much time to close a report without enough information as WORKSFORME? Also, meaning of UNCONFIRMED currently is "not clear if it's a valid bug", but might become "not reproduced or seen by anybody else yet"? (This was OPW feedback from Valerie.)
 * Talk to Mobile team: Are there instructions somewhere for users how to provide a stacktrace when the Wikipedia App crashes on iOS or Android? (e.g. 41027)
 * design keyword workflow: Improvements possible? Talk to design team. Open tickets: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=design%2C%20&query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&resolution=---
 * Policy: Define a policy when users are blocked or when insulting/useless comments will be hidden - might not be needed as the global Code of Conduct applies
 * Policy: shellpolicy vs shell vs ops keyword usage? 45539
 *  Usually shellpolicy is used where there are concerns that the local community might not have discussed the change, or the change is not supported by them. Otherwise shell is used to show bugs which need a shell user to review, merge and deploy. shellpolicy is always turned into shell after clarification that community consensus exists. So shellpolicy basically always means "proof of consensus needed".
 * Encourage reporters to use the "Version" field in reports (metadata makes cleaning up and retesting way easier in a few years)
 * Analyze the "Priority" field usage from time to time, and how realistic it is (cf. Mer)
 * Consider collecting stock answers, cf. Maemo or MeeGo

Tasks that require special permissions
Tasks listed here require special Bugzilla permissions (e.g. being an admin) hence only a small number of people can work on them.


 * Clean up: Duplication of information: keywords vs tracker bugs vs products:
 * MW/Javascript component vs javascript keyword vs bug 2114
 * newparser keyword vs Parsoid product: talk to James_F (James Forrester) (PM for Parsoid)
 * analytics keyword vs Analytics product (and Wikimedia/Statistics) --> Contact analytics ml if they use Bugzilla and if it works for them?
 * newphp keyword vs PHP4.x tracking bug 30092
 * tracking keyword vs tracking meta bug 2007
 * SSL: Component vs. tracking bug bug 53999
 * Documentation: Document the role of the wikibugs-l@ default assignee and its setting as globalwatcher? See 31790 and 44929
 * Voting in Bugzilla: Some products support it, some don't.
 * If voting is NOT used as a source of information by developers, discuss disabling it and add a comment about its current number of votes when doing so - Open tickets sorted by votes
 * This would require a script: Run "USE bugs; SELECT bug_id, votes FROM bugs WHERE votes > 0" in the MySQL database, then for each output line take the bug_id and the number of votes and paste a comment on that report by using the interface (and disable bugmail before so we don't trigger 2400 notification emails).
 * Currently voting disabled by Max votes per person == 0 in Products: Analytics, Huggle, Monuments database, Parsoid, VisualEditor, WikiLoves Monuments Mobile, Wikimedia Labs, Wikipedia App. Voting enabled in all other products.
 * Discussions in a number of communities that use Bugzilla, to consider:

 * Number of open tickets with X votes in Wikimedia Bugzilla
 * Next time we upgrade Bugzilla (and can disable bugmail):
 * Merge MediaWiki Version numbers: All 1.20s to become "1.20.x" and merge 1.19 and 1.19.0. No need to differentiate anymore. (list, edit)
 * Remove wikibugs-l@ from default CCs for security reasons
 * Check Target Milestones and keywords whether anything should be changed or removed
 * Consider showing some custom fields (Web browser, used in 318 reports, Usage chart per product, Usage chart per value; Mobile platform, used in 485 reports, Usage chart per product, Usage chart per value) only for specific products/components: 41197
 * Hardware field (rep_platform) could be merged into Platform, but Mobile Team reluctant, see discussions 41197, 40936, 45759
 * Cleanup: Identify MediaWiki extensions in SVN which have not been converted from now read-only SVN to Gerrit and are hence dead. Close their bug reports as RESOLVED WONTFIX, explaining the situation, and add a "svn-unmaintained" status whiteboard entry so they could be identified later per component in case somebody wants to pick up development again. Also see Git/Conversion/Extensions_queue.
 * Priority and Target Milestones are kind of related, hence maybe get rid of one? (Kudos to Robla and Krinkle here for input and thoughts.) Like: highest priority = next point release, high = this release cycle, etc. Might be good to restrict access to Priority though, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81457 or use "letsubmitterchoosepriority"
 * Potential remove "trivial" severity as that is covered by the easy keyword. IMHO it is not a severity, as a bug could be both critical and trivial, e.g. a typo that leads to a crash.
