BugSquad 'Adopt a Package'

Adopt-a-Package is an approach to bug triaging; Currently, there are different approaches to finding bugs and fixing them; Some people prefer to read bug reports as they come in and deal with them as they are reported, others prefer to find the oldest open bugs and work toward the newest.

This approach is a bit different, BugSquad members choose a package to focus on and attempt to triage all the bugs for their chosen package. After all the bugs have been triaged, keeping up with new bugs becomes a relaxed daily process. After a package has been fully triaged, and while triaging a trickle of new bugs for an adopted package, adopt another package and repeat. The rationale for this approach is that this will produce experts within the Bug Squad for any particular package as well as keep the untriaged bugs low for critical packages.

Initially, it would best for a person to adopt only one package at a time, since packages require constant attention working with more than one package can become tedious and hard. Please discuss this on the Bugsquad mailing list.

The following link has two tables of packages in main that do not have any bug subscribers. Subsequently, it is likely that no one is watching them for new bug reports or reviewing the reported bugs. Check this out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/MainPackagesWithoutBugSubscribers

Adopted Packages

Packages that need particular care

List packages here that are up for adoption. The application bugnumbers of the bughelper suite is useful for finding out how many bugs a particular package has. Below you will find a list of packages which could use some attention. Don't be intimidated by the number as it is the total count of open bugs not untriaged ones.
