For at least 2 reasons : - it is an obviously "long" process to add a bug. If we have found a small & quickly fixed bug, then there is no need to add a bug imo. Having a complete patch comment is necessary for the ppl reviewing/validating the patch. But the need of a bug.koha.org is unclear to me (the PATCH-sent thing is not enough imo)
It does sometimes seem like a long process, especially compared to a small patch. Could we make it easier by making bugzilla accept entries via email? <http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:FAQ:Bugzilla_Email#How_do_I_set_up_the_email_interface_to_submit.2Fchange_bugs_via_email.3F>
mmm... maybe a good way to do so.
About small and quickly fixed bugs, sometimes what seems simple at first turns into two or three patches to get it right. I'm notoriously bad at this. Having a bug to tie them together may help others. Maybe this isn't enough to justify the cost of opening a bug for each one, though.
That's just what I wanted to point in fact : in the case of a small & evident bug, I don't think it's usefull to write a bug.koha.org for non immediate solution bugs, though, it's interesting. Also note that more often our customer questions are a mix of "bug", "feature request", "poor use of Koha", and "bad use of the result they get" So, it's hard (impossible) to translate & throw the request "as is".
I'd like to encourage you to submit any of those bugs that are appropriate to bugs.koha.org.
Of course, when it is relevant, i'll take time to do it (although I didn't previously) Our positions are not that far then. I was just afraid to have this rule too hardly added to our patch policy. For anyone else involvement, it can also be a problem : i've found a small bug in Koha, I know the solution. I must : - get git & know how to use it - create an account on bugzilla - file a bug for that - create & send my patch for a single patch, too much imo. I wouldn't do that for a project I don't plan to be involved to.
