[Libreoffice-qa] Bugs with assignee but status NEW

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Hi,

I did some emphasis on QA-FAQ
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ#How_to_assign_a_bug_.28QA_team_only.29>.

I found out that currently we have more than 300 bugs with assignee but 
status UNCONFIRMED or NEW  [1], most assigned to
cedric.bosdonnat.ooo at free.fr,  tbehrens at suse.com, rodo at novell.com, 
nopower at novell.com,  vmiklos at suse.cz   [2]

That is not a big problem, but inconsistent. I am not a fan of mass 
changes, but could assignees please unify the properties in these bugs 
"by the fly" when they stumble upon them and

+ change Stauts to "Assigned" if they are planning to work on the bugs
     or
+ reassign to list?

Especially for bugs where we did not have any change since more than 1/4 
year [3] my suspect is that "Assignee" entry is inappropriate and only 
might discourage other volunteers


Best Regards

Rainer
