HelpingBugReporters
I'm creating this page to facilitate the discussion on the immediate things we can do to facilitate and reward users reporting bugs in Malone. This is directly stemmed from Andreas Schildbach's Flight-5 installation report and musing that he was dissappointed in the level of feedback he got on the bugs he reported.
One thing I noticed is that all of his bugs were filed against "ubuntu". This is understandable for a new user or a user who is not terribly familiar with the different packages that are available in ubuntu. However there is no easy way for developers/bug-triagers to produce a list of bugs which haven't been filed against a specific package. Additionally, this means that only the reporter and ubuntu bugs mailing list are subscribed. This results in the bug dissappearing effectively into cyber-space. What can we do to fix this in the immediate time frame while we wait for malone to be improved to allow us to generate this list?
