[Koha-devel] bugzilla old entries

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi Paul, 

I agree with Owen that we should not mark those old bugs WONTFIX

Additionally I think we have do differentiate between bugs and enhancements:

For bugs I think the proper way doing it is retesting the bug and updating it.

Enhancements need to be revisited. If Koha can still not do what was suggested the bug should be left open. 
If it's a really bad idea, mark WONTFIX.

Getting them off our lists will not solve the problem and if the bug is filed again the original bug reporter won't get any updates about the status.

Katrin

I don't see your saved search. Did you share it?

I don't think we should mark bugs "wontfix" just because they're old.
I think many of the bugs might still be valid, whether or not they
have the correct version assignment.

I think it is not a good idea. Better to have a bug open and showing
up in searches in case someone is looking to file a new one for the
same issue.
