Recently, we've been trying to clean up ORM's JIRA tickets. There are a lot of duplication, stale issues, etc. One thought was pushing all ORM 3 tickets to the "Awaiting Test Case" state and requesting a reproducer on ORM 4 or 5. They would then fall under our policy of automatically rejecting those tickets that did not receive a test case within 3 months or so.

This obviously would not include new features/improvements, anything assigned to someone, etc.

> I guess you would still include some features/improvements issues I'm sure some legitimate things may get caught up in this, but I'd rather try to clean things up aggressively, then re-open on a case-by-case basis. If there's something we close that the community feels strongly about, the hope is that they'll comment on it and bring it to our attention.

Sounds like a fair attempt to try to get a grip on all these open issues. > This obviously would not include new features/improvements, anything assigned to someone, etc. I guess you would still include some features/improvements issues, since Bug is the default issue type and some people don't change the type even so they describe a feature/improvement. But that might not be important. --Hardy _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev

Probably not a bad idea to write up a blog describing what we are doing and why. We could link to that in the Jira comment

Good thoughts -- will do. If anyone has differing opinions, I'm all ears. I won't attempt this for a week or so...
