Bug management/Triage

Bug triage often refers to bug triage meetings.

We currently have a bugmeister who triages bugs and organizes bug triage meetings to collectively triage such bugs. The meetings are announced in wikitech-l and via Identi.ca and Twitter on Monday and held on Wednesday in a public IRC channel, #wikimedia-dev (webchat link).

When we triage bugs, we review each bug's initial report, comment, reproducibility, and any attached patches. We discuss its priority and status and decide whether to change them, and sometimes recruit developers to fix the bug or implement the enhancement.
