[edit] Introduction

The Bug Squad plans to generate and publish regular reports on the bug management process. This page will contain information on the tools and system used to generate such reports, and the reports themselves.

[edit] Planning

So far, the reports we plan to generate are:

• General report
  • general figures of bugzilla status by distribution (based on supported distributions)
  • opened bugs and closed bugs (for last week)
  • classified bugs / priority
  • classified bugs / status
  • 3 best and 3 worst maintainers ?
  • average time between submission of new bug and closing
  • average time between submission and assigning it
  • non maintained packages
  • list of bugs without any answer for 2 weeks (?)

• Specific report for Beta and RC releases
  • complete list of opened bugs classified / priority + last answer

• Individual report
  • reminder of list of maintained packages
  • list of opened and closed bugs (for last week)
  • list of bugs without any answer for 2 weeks (?)

We are currently in the process of planning the system for generating these reports. Tools under consideration include BugStat and PyBugz (Mandriva package name python-bugz). Help and suggestions for this process are welcome and should be directed to the mailing list.

[edit] Reports

In May 2007, we manually generated some preliminary reports. These were generated before the Bugzilla database was cleaned up, so any data they contain must be regarded as provisional.

Bugs by status:

ASSIGNED 222
NEEDINFO 450
NEW 2176
REOPENED 91
RESOLVED 24030
UNCONFIRMED 2465
VERIFIED 155
Total 29589

--

Bugs by priority (open bugs only):

release_critical 4
high 77
normal 5322
low 14
Total 5417

--

Bugs opened last week: 124
Bugs closed last week: 94

--

top and bottom 3 maintainers is hard as the database is messy and there are many inactive maintainers, but these are active maintainers with a perfect ratio (all bugs RESOLVED) and who have at least 20 bugs in total:

David Walluck
Stefan van der Eijk

The next highest ranking active accounts are security-related - security@ , sbenedict@ and vdanen@ - and qa@. After that, the next highest rank is Guillaume Rousse at 0.04 (96% of bugs are RESOLVED). The highest ranking active staff member is Pablo at 0.05 (95% of bugs RESOLVED).

At the other end, the lowest ranking maintainer is David Barth :), at 0.73: only 27% of bugs are RESOLVED. Second lowest ranking is qateam but that's unfair as their bugs get reassigned to security once QA team is done with them, so they hardly get any RESOLVED (and really they shouldn't get any if the process works correctly). After that is Marcelo Ricardo Leitner at 0.63 (37% of bugs RESOLVED). Then distrib-admin at 0.56 (44% RESOLVED) and Erwan Velu (contributor) at 0.52 (48% RESOLVED). Next lowest ranking staff member is Helio at 0.43 (57% RESOLVED). Figures which may be of interest - kernel@ scores 0.24 (76% RESOLVED), Luiz Capitulino scores 0.36, Arnaud Patard scores 0.32.
