I have two questions about situations outside the realm of bug triage.
Both involve package reviews.
1. Suppose I submit a package for review, and then later decide that I
want to withdraw the submission for some reason. (I had this happen
recently when legal problems with the package came to light.) The
review bug should go to state CLOSED, but with what reason? WONTFIX?
2. Suppose I decide to review a package submission. I assign the
review bug to myself. The review turns up some problems that need to
be fixed. The person submitting the package doesn't respond for a
long time. Now what? Do I mark the bug NEEDINFO? What if the
submitter still doesn't respond? (I've got several bugs assigned to
me that are currently in this state.)
Good questions, and I'm not sure of the answers. The package review
process is really a separate workflow that uses Bugzilla for convenience
so it doesn't really involve Bugzappers / QA at all. Bugzappers are
asked to leave package review requests entirely alone. I'll update the
lifecycle page to specify that it applies only to 'conventional' Fedora
bugs.
For 1 I'd suggest NOTABUG, myself. For 2 I suppose, yeah, set it
NEEDINFO, and close as CANTFIX or INSUFFICIENT_DATA if they seem to have
disappeared. But that's just me guessing and carries zero weight, I
don't know who should make an Official Declaration in this case.
Resolutions aren't really super important, so don't get tied up over
them. Don't spend more than a minute thinking "my word! What resolution
should I use?!?!" - if you don't know and the page doesn't make it
clear, just take a guess, no-one's going to die if you get it 'wrong'.
It's just nice to have mostly consistent usage so we can sometimes
derive useful statistics from the resolutions.
