GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 744312
Kill unconfirmed state for most products
Last modified: 2015-02-28 14:58:36 UTC
Almost every product does not make use of UNCONFIRMED. We should: 1. Ask on desktop-devel-list which products use that state (IIRC gimp) 2. Change all UNCONFIRMEDs to NEW (mass change, SQL will miss out on some needed things). Make sure to not change it for products which use it! 3. Change the "Enable the UNCONFIRMED status in this product" for all products (SQL) 4. Change the "Enable the UNCONFIRMED status in this product" back for the few products which actually need it

Questions: 1. What issue is this change supposed to address? If it starts with "The user might...!!!!1!", then: 2. Has the upstream change mentioned in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2015-February/msg00142.html been taken into account for this decision?
(In reply to Michael Schumacher from comment #2) > 1. What issue is this change supposed to address? The numerous "Why has this not been confirmed yet?!" comments by Bugzilla users that I've seen over the last years in bug reports of those products in GNOME Bugzilla where no developer or maintainers cares about UNCONF vs NEW (in my impression that's the majority). No need to create confusion by using two things for the very same thing. > 2. Has the upstream change mentioned in > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2015-February/msg00142. > html been taken into account for this decision? See my reply on the mailing list.

FYI: I probably only do this on Sat. Various people asked all kinds of other things. I think we should take one step at a time. First kill UNCO for most, then look at the rest of the workflow. IMO ASSIGNED -> IN_PROGRESS (or something) makes sense.
