[hibernate-dev] ORM 3 JIRA tickets

[Brett Meyer]

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.

Here's an example filter that would be used:

https://hibernate.atlassian.net/issues/?filter=14660

project = HHH AND issuetype = Bug AND status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened, "Awaiting Test Case") AND affectedVersion in ([all ORM 3 version]) AND affectedVersion not in ([all ORM 4/5 versions]) AND assignee in (EMPTY) AND reporter not in ([core contributors]) AND updated < -90d

That results in 716 tickets, providing a considerable dent.

I thought it would be important to solicit other opinions.  Any suggestions or alternate ideas?  Anything missing from the query that might make it too aggressive?
