[Python-Dev] Tracker archeology (original) (raw)

Hi all,

For the past two days I've been doing some housekeeping coughspammingcough on the tracker, mostly on ancient and/or easy bugs. So far, ten bugs have been closed (thanks Antoine, Barry, Benjamin, Guilherme, Martin and Raymond). I nominated some other bugs (below) for closing and added a few simple patches, with a couple more pending feedback.

If anyone is interested in being added as nosy for any category of bugs, let me know and I'll do that as I scan the tracker.

Iff this kind of Bug-Day-ish work is desirable, doesn't disrupt real work and people agree the workflow would be better, I'd like to have developer rights in the tracker, as per Antoine's suggestion. FWIW, I have no problem with the current situation.

Talking about Bug Days, I see lots of easy bugs, some with outdated patches. Is there any plan of doing a Bug Day around PyCon time?

Best regards, Daniel
