XorgTriage

Basic rules about triaging bugs for X.org:

• Bugs that are NEW and assigned to xorg-team are awaiting triage.
• ASSIGNED with owner set to xorg-team means that the bug is valid but not assigned to a specific developer yet
• ASSIGNED with owner changed to specific developer means that it's in that developer's queue
• Don't go closing bugs if they're assigned to someone else (including assigned to the team)
• Discuss a WONTFIX, NOTABUG, or NOTOURBUG with the developers first before closing any bug with these resolutions.
• General rules for the severity field:
  • Blocker: server crashes, security problems, build problems with the default build, release issues.
  • Critical: rendering errors, client-side crashes, (most) regressions.
• Use keywords intelligently:
  • want-backtrace on bugs that need a useful backtrace before they can be debugged
  • change want-backtrace to have-backtrace once you have one
  • regression for functionality regressions relative to previous releases
  • janitor for cleanup or style tasks a la kernel janitors
