Description Björn Michaelsen 2016-03-29 21:55:38 UTC
Here is a query looking for issues that contain a commit notification (the words "committed a patch"), but are still unresolved and unchanged for more than two weeks and are not an EasyHack:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=PLEASETEST&chfieldto=-2w&keywords=easyHack%2C%20&keywordhttps://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=PLEASETEST&chfieldto=-2w&keywords=easyHack%2C%20&keywords_type=nowords&list_id=601347&longdesc=committed%20a%20patch&longdesc_type=regexp&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&resolution=---s_type=nowords&list_id=601347&longdesc=committed%20a%20patch&longdesc_type=regexp&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&resolution=---

Its likely that a lot of those (currently 270 bugs) are actually resolved and it was just forgotten to close them. This EasyHack is to create a script that:
- crawls the above bugs
- and outputs a list in the format:
  Bjoern Michaelsen: tdf#12345, tdf#12346 ....
  <next committer>
  ...

The output of the script could then be used every 3 or 6 month in a cleanup of forgotten bugs. Similar scripts can be found at:

We have the same problem with easyhacks, allthough there are a couple of long runners.

So I would prefer the output to be

Committer: tdf:12345, tdf#12345(easyhack), ...

and yes I am very interested in this hack.

Changing to NEEDINFO, the BZ script seems to be wrong (at least BZ comes up with an error).

Questioning, if we still want such a script, with the automated monitoring in place.
