[Koha-devel] Hacker's corner week 10

[Marcel de Rooy]

Closing your own patches after they got pushed is not ideal, I agree right-away. Could we open a wiki page for some procedures on bug status changes? 

The wiki discussion idea is meant to contribute to the mail Paul will send each week. Just adding to that report will not always attract attention (or even mailing the list..) But other ways are fine too.

The one who reported would be ideal, the person who signed off ok if
no one else will do it. But not the person who wrote the patch.
Signing off your own patches, or closing bugs that you wrote the fix
for means that no one independent has tested. As release manager I
don't like this idea at all. Id rather a bug stay open, than have it
closed by the person who wrote the fix.

To mention a few: discussion on 5572 (I mailed the list already, but no response yet). Discuss reopening 2173 (I would favor restoring OpacNav on detail screen). Etc. Etc.

Why not just reply to the mail with the bugs you want to highlight.
