Hi,

This sounds much like work flow management to me. Requiring a triaging staff and a common knowledge of the procedures to follow. I'm not convinced Bugzilla is good for that. My experience tells me that reading the entered comments usually gives a pretty good picture of the state of affairs and further course of action.

Just my 0.02

Does anyone know the amount of open bug reports that should be fairly easy (straightforward) to solve if only anybody would find time to address them? Or is it required that each and every one of us who feel an urge to address these that we need to sort it out ourselves.

This is a good question, and one whose results are hard to keep track of. I think bugs by their very nature are rarely a quick fix unfortunately. Perhaps we should add some flags to our bug database such as "unconfirmed" and "confirmed" - the confirmed cases could be worked first. Also a flag that we're waiting to hear from the bug reporter would be great. These things would allow us to keep track of which bugs to work on instead of wading through all of the open bugs every time.

Other ideas?
