Hi all,

since we're at documenting things, I wonder if we want to discuss and
document the bugzilla workflow.

For now I tried to handle bugs like Zac did. That is:

There always exists a tracker bug, named:
"[Tracker] sys-apps/portage-<next version>".

This bug is renamed from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+1 after a release, until it gets
closed when Y changes and a new one is opened.

Whenever a commit for a specific bug is made to the git repo, the
corresponding bug gets changed in the following ways:
* InVCS is added to Keywords
* The bug is marked as blocking the tracker for the next version
* A comment is added saying: This is fixed in git: <url to commit>
(note that the bug stays open)

After a release all open bugs blocking the tracker are closed with the
comment "This is fixed in <version>.".

I like this workflow because it makes it easy to see what has been fixed
since the last release. The only thing I have no use for, is this InVCS
keyword. I do not know what Zac used it for. Does anyone have a use for it?

Another topic is the bug status for open bugs, i.e. CONFIRMED,
UNCONFIRMED, IN_PROGRESS. I've never bothered with changing them and
haven't found them useful, but Brian suggested to use IN_PROGRESS at
times. What are your thoughts?

Did I miss something? Any suggestions?

Sebastian
