In the weekly Fedora program update that I publish on
communityblog.fedoraproject.org, I have started to include a count of the
open package review requests. As of this moment, there are ~1300 open
review requests. Some of these were opened in 2006.
The usual Bugzilla housekeeping (branching, EOL closure, etc) explicitly
excludes review request bugs. Having a large number of open, ancient review
requests isn't exactly harmful, but it's not very helpful either.
Before I make a proposal to FPC, I thought I'd open a conversation here.
What does a reasonable cleanup of review requests look like?
My initial thought is to close all review requests that were opened >2
years ago, to be performed at the EOL closure for each release.
Any news on that? Dropping requests on the last comment date, not last
activity, as some CC/Un-assigning may happen well after the real bug activity.
There is around 500 "old" bugs which are still "New" or Unassigned
from my
Bugzilla searches.
