 = problem =

 We have a lot of bugs, and the deadlines for resolving bugs (where
 resolving == [fixing, documenting]) is not always clear.

 = analysis =

 During the lead up to F-13-RC, numerous reminder emails were sent to test@
 and devel@ mailing lists noting the number and state of remaining blocker
 bugs.  It is felt that, along with developer time of course, the attention
 to the blocker list contributed to the resolution of 67 blocker bugs from
 2010-04-30 to 2010-05-06.

 Not knowing which bugs were already reviewed, also introduced time wasted
 reviewing previously reviewed bugs during blocker review meetings.

 = enhancement recommendation =

  1. Recommend more frequent blocker status emails leading up to '''each'''
 major milestone.  Unclear who should be responsible for sending these
 mails, QA, rel-eng or program mgmt?
  2. Update [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting
 QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting] with blocker meeting queries or ''python-
 bugzilla'' commands and where to send the mails (developers bcc'd?)
