[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] dormant tickets

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 970 bytes --]

Hi

Should tickets which are inactive be closed with a new resolution:dormant?

If yes, should this be done to new and or open tickets ?
and after what time ?

its easy to do with trac

(iam not saying that is a good idea, a bug is a bug and wont fix itself
 but it felt in the comments about trac / forgejo migration that people
 dont like old issues)

and this question, i think captures this better than a migrate vs not migrate
question

IMHO, we should pay someone to go over the new tickets and open valid
ones and close invalid ones and ask for more info in incomplete ones.
independant of the tracker and independant of the handling of dormant tickets

thx

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give
it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For
even the very wise cannot see all ends. -- Gandalf

IMHO tickets should not be closed until resolved with a clear
rationale -- a resolution can be "will not fix" or "not germane" of
course.

What problem(s) are we trying to solve beyond the vague "[some] people
dont like old issues"?

I, for one, do not mind old issues as long as they are still relevant
-- it saves me from searching both open and closed issues and
differentiating between closed (resolved) and closed (dormant).
