[jbosstools-dev] How to Triage Issues?

[Rob Stryker]

Hi All:

Do we have a document available with the proper way to triage issues? I 
seriously have no idea anymore, and every time I try to change an old 
issue, I end up getting an email telling me that it's not triaged now.

I used to assign myself, even if I didn't intend to work on it, to 
indicate that it "was read". I was told this was incorrect, and that 
there should be no assignee if nobody is actively working on it.

I also used to mark it as targeted to later, but I was told this was 
vague and should not be used as a dumping ground for all issues that 
aren't on the plan.

But if I leave the fix version blank (to indicate it is not on my plan), 
I get an email telling me the issue is untriaged.

I also tried commenting on issues, to indicate that I've seen them, but 
didn't change the fix version or assignee since I did not have a firm 
target for it.... but this gets the same emails.

Should I go in right now and bulk-change all my unassigned untargeted 
issues to myself with a fix version, even if I have no idea if that fix 
version is accurate? Or should I mark all I don't have a firm target for 
to "Later" ?

What's the process here?
