A short explanation of the different tasks:

New Bugs

You look after 'New Bugs' and process them appropriately.

Required

• A Launchpad account

Look at the Untriaged bugs section of Bugs/HowToTriage for an explanation of the required actions for this task.

Confirmed Bugs

You check for Confirmed bugs that are not being looked after or that need to be set to Triaged and do with them whatever is needed.

Look at the Confirmed bugs section of Bugs/HowToTriage for an explanation of the required actions for this task.

Required

• A Launchpad account

• Membership of Ubuntu Bug Control

Forwarding upstream

You forward bugs upstream. These reports need to contain enough information to be useful to the developers, we don't want to force them to start the triaging process over again. You could start with bugs that are marked as needing forwarding or go through the Triaged bugs yourself.

Required

• A Launchpad account
• An account for the upstream bug tracker

Old Bugs

This is a bit of a special kind of task since it's not limited to any specific kind of stage of the triaging process like the tasks above. Instead you focus on bug reports that have been lingering around for a while. You:

• Verify if the bug can still be reproduced on supported releases
• Triage the bug

After a while you should be finished with this task since thisadoption team keeps the package tidy and clean. However, it might be wise to still keep an eye out for bugs that are forgotten.
