From the "Summary" section of the bug reporting guidelines:
Also keep in mind that the summary is what people will see when bugs are listed in the search -- it's a good place to put keywords like which page the error occurs on, or specifics about where a problem occurs. The summary Times are formatted incorrectly in slips ( AM PM ) due to double processing accurately describes the problem, but someone looking for the bug later will be likely to search for date_due ISSUESLIP, Time on <<issues.date_due>> incorrectly shows as 'AM' on ISSUESLIP, ISSUEQSLIP Is easier to search for. ^^ This, this, a thousand times this. As a bug reporter, I'm a bit ashamed at the times that I haven't done this, as someone who has spent a significant chunk of the last four years of his life searching bugzilla, please for the love of $DIETY, do this... Also, keep in mind that the page where the bug is triggered (e.g. circ/returns.pl or catalogue/search.pl) is a likely keyword. Thank you!

Hi devs,
I would like to do a little reminder about the bug report titles and commit messages.
For bugs: The bug report title must shortly tell what the *bug* is, whereas the commit messages must tell what the *fix* does. Sometimes they are not related at all. For instance: - bug report titles: "Feature X is not working correctly when Y is enabled", "Click on button 'Save' does not save the record", "Saving stuff on screen X does not work", "This script generates error logs", "Mystake is misspelled in this script", "Behaviour X no longer work as expected" etc. - commit messages: "Fix Feature X when Y is enabled", "Make sure behaviour is correct when button is clicked", "Remove warnings from this script", "Correct spelling of mistake in this script", "Fix regression on behaviour X" etc.
For enhancements / new feature: We could have the same title and commit messages in some cases. - bug report titles: "Add new awesome feature", "Add the ability to do that", "Code is duplicated in method Koha::Stuff->method" - commit messages: "Add new awesome feature", "Add the ability to do that", "Remove code duplication in method Koha::Stuff->method"
Note that "Address comment #42" is a terrible commit message.
Then, I would like to standardize the commit messages a bit. We have "Bug 12345 - ", "Bug 12345: ", "Bug 12345" and "[follow-up]", "(follow-up)", "[QA Followup]", etc.
I would suggest: "Bug 12345: you commit message" And reject any commit messages with only "follow-up" (or whatever how it is written), but accept "Bug 12345: (follow-up) same commit message as before" If you forgot something, even if "Bug 12345: (follow-up) This was missing"
And QA follow-ups (added by QA team member): "Bug 12345: "(QA follow-up) Add/remove this stuff"
I am going to suggest these change during the next dev meetings. If accepted I will change the bug report titles and commit messages before the push during few weeks, then ask authors to do it themselves (patches from new contributors will not be rejected for that reason).

Cheers, Jonathan
