bugzilla cleanup
it's been a while since we've done a bugzilla cleanup! someone mentioned that it's difficult to find bugs to work on, and i think the high number of open bugs has a lot to do with that, so i'm declaring spring cleaning on the bug list.
there are currently 14 public bugs that are CONFIRMED and assigned to someone other than nobody@dreamwidth.org. if you are the assignee for any of them, please either:
(a) set the status to IN_PROGRESS, indicating that you are still working on it or planning on working on it in the near future, or
(b) set the assignee back to nobody@dreamwidth.org so somebody else can pick it up!
there are also currently 199 public bugs IN_PROGRESS. please take a look and see if you have any bugs assigned to you with a status of IN_PROGRESS! if you do, and you aren't planning on working on them, please:
(1) set the status back to CONFIRMED, and
(2) set the assignee back to nobody@dreamwidth.org!
remember: there is absolutely no shame at all to deciding that you don't want to work on a particular bug anymore. (there are a few bugs i've picked up and dropped three or four times each!) it is perfectly okay to drop a bug that you aren't as interested in as you thought you were. it's not a failure in any way, and you may be doing another developer a favor when they decide the bug looks interesting!
we're going to be working on clearing out bugs that are no longer applicable, have been resolved-by-proxy, or have been open so long that we've changed our minds about needing them due to other things happening, but in the meantime, if you spot any of those, drop me a line so i can deal with 'em.
