A pattern is starting to emerge, where by Sunday there are usually more
than fifty and sometimes up to a hundred unassigned bug reports waiting,
sometimes double that. It looks like a few people are doing basic
reviewing on a couple dozen bugs during the days that I work, but from
Saturday until Sunday, most bugs are filed and many get left to go
stale for days, contrary to the purpose of the bug-wranglers project,
which states that we should strive to assign bugs within a day (say 24
hours) after reviewing them and improving them. Since I work basically
from Wednesday until Sunday, most bug reports now get assigned somewhere
between Sunday and Wednesday. I'd have liked to give some better
statistics (and didn't we have some script for the LWN that did that?
Is it still running?) but I don't currently have them. Maybe Alex's
script could warn about the number of stale bugs (maybe having Status:
NEW; age > 24 hours) but I guess that would intrude too much on this
mailing list. It would certainly help to have some performance
statistics available on a regular basis.

I take a data point on the number of open bugs for a few queries twice per 
day, see 

http://www.akhuettel.de/gentoo-bugs/

Bugwrangler bugs is one of the plots further down in the list. On this scale 
no obvious pattern is visible, but I'll make later on a plot for a shorter 
time period....

Cheers, A

PS. Yes Infra knows and I promised not to extend this to more and more 
queries... :)

Those are neat!

Try averaging across your whole time period by day of the week. Although 
that may not be complex enough, you might need to fit it to a baseline 
first to account for the longer-term trends...

By the way, could you please change the dates to be YYYY-MM-DD (a la ISO 
8601) so they make sense to everyone? I was blindingly confused at first 
and thought they spanned a few days rather than a year.
