Basic rules about triaging bugs for X.org:

  • Bugs that are NEW and assigned to xorg-team are awaiting triage.
  • ASSIGNED with owner set to xorg-team means that the bug is valid but not assigned to a specific developer yet
  • ASSIGNED with owner changed to specific developer means that it's in that developer's queue
  • Don't go closing bugs if they're assigned to someone else (including assigned to the team)
  • Discuss a WONTFIX, NOTABUG, or NOTOURBUG with the developers first before closing any bug with these resolutions.
  • General rules for the severity field:
    • Blocker: server crashes, security problems, build problems with the default build, release issues.
    • Critical: rendering errors, client-side crashes, (most) regressions.
  • Use keywords intelligently:
