April-May Old Bugs Hackathon

[denise]

It's time for our next hackathon! The suggestions hackathon did really well in getting people inspired to clear out some older stuff, so I thought, what about clearing out some really old stuff?

From now until May 30, patching a bug with a Bugzilla ID number under 2000 (so, 1-1999) will earn 10 DW points if it's effort-minor, 50 if it's effort-medium, and 100 if it's effort-major. Patching a bug with a three-digit or less Bugzilla ID (1-999) will carry a 50% points bonus (so, 15 for effort-minor, 75 effort-medium, 150 effort-major).

I know a lot of the older bugs are huge epic things (major projects we logged up front), but many of them are smaller fixes! There's even a codemerge or two. Check out the unassigned bugs and see if there's an older bug you can give some love to.

Known issue -- never got around to fixing it. Since the dreamwidth.org emails only forward to other accounts anyway, I usually just tell people to use another email. If you really are worried about security you can create a dummy throwaway account on gmail or whatever and just set the forwarding there.

I looked into it once, it wasn't obvious, so I never finished digging into it and fixing it.
