I've been as annoyed as anybody at the huge churn on wine-bugs lately, it makes it hard to actually read, and the mailing list archive can't really cope. But there seems to be no way around it, so I decided to get a bunch more out of the way in one fell (and I do mean fell) swoop. In particular, I closed over a thousand old RESOLVED FIXED, RESOLVED ABANDONED, RESOLVED WORKSFORME, and RESOLVED INVALID bugs tonight. You can see the effect here: http://bugs.winehq.org/reports.cgi?product=Wine&datasets=RESOLVED%3A&...
The only real benefit of this is fixed bugs will show up with strikethrough now when referenced in bugzilla, which is actually kind of nice.
I'd like to get all the wine-bugs churn out of the way during January, if possible.
For reference, the rule of thumb for closing RESOLVED bugs is:
FIXED and WORKSFORME: can be closed after two weeks (i.e. after release)
ABANDONED: can be closed after three months
INVALID: can be closed immediately, but if it's less than a couple months old, check to make sure somebody wasn't just being cranky - Dan
