Jaunty QA Roadmap

Bugs

• Upstream kernel bugs process and relations: qa-upstream-kernel-bugs (High) - LeannOgasawara

• Bug patch workflow: Improve the workflow around bugs with patches attached, helping developers discover and prioritise bugs with patches - qa-bug-patch-workflow (High) - BrianMurray

• Needs-packaging bugs: Improve the handling of needs-packaging bugs to reduce confusion in triage and make it easier to find packaging tasks - qa-needs-packaging-bugs (Low) - BrianMurray

Not on spec form:

• Bug day evolution - evaluate the popularity and effectiveness of the bug day program and propose improvements - PedroVillavicencio

• Targeted bug lists - prepare targeted bug lists for teams or projects to aid their workflow management. Targets for Jaunty: Canonical engineering team lists and suspend/resume tagged bugs - BrianMurray, LeannOgasawara

• Upstream bug process - working with the community team to improve the flow of bugs upstream - PedroVillavicencio

• Processing apport bugs: We are increasingly asking users to submit their bugs via apport which generally results in more informative bugs. We must now make sure that these bugs are triaged effectively including clearing attachments of private information so the reports can be made public.
