@bagder Bug zero for the win. I first read this and thought it was about having the project on github 🙊

hi
@engel@mastodon.social replied  ·  activity timestamp yesterday

@bagder but you didn't just ban so many people on the bug bounty program because you thought their bug reports were all AI slop that no one does it anymore right?

@engel those we banned obviously didn't report any bugs so I don't think that changes the count...

@bagder congratulations! it was such a relief to get to inbox zero in Flask, so I know how much effort this takes. Made it so much easier to make decisions and keep the count low moving forward too.

@smoe are we really doing this again? Will you be covering the huge CI expenses as GitHub graciously does for us now?

Are we again at the point where you derail the discussion, while you know perfectly well that you can continue using GitHub's CI without requiring the community to use GitHub and move development elsewhere?

Using github's ci without using anything else from Github? I'm interested, where I can learn more about it?

@bagder

I’m actually serious — I’m struggling to manage issues on a much smaller OSS project. Have you ever written about how you handle issue management?

@bagder@mastodon.social replied  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

@b3n I don't think I've written specifically about issues, no. I have awesome contributors in the project and we always consider fixing issues top-prio. But also, to reduce the risk of new issues working on the foundation: readable code, more tests, fuzzing, documentation etc is also crucial.

I'm writing because I admire your consistency, focus, and perseverance. I can't help but wonder, with admiration, how you manage to do it. Since this is a topic … Continue reading How I do it →

@bagder That's very admirable. So many (big) Open Source projects just don't prioritize their "Issues" count/triage process (or think they don't have the resources) and it becomes an outdated and duplication-riddled hell. Looking at you, #Nextcloud.

@michal@toot.kottman.xyz replied  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

@benbe @bagder Unfortunately this can both ways (I'm not saying this applies to curl!).

It's way too easy to set up a bot to respond "There have been no updates in 2 weeks, we're closing this issue as obsolete."

@michal I know. And I hate those "stale bots" like hell. I'll actually sometimes produce MORE noise just to make those bots STFU.

The good measure here is "number of unresolved issues", which should be kept low; which coincides with "open issues" IFF you only close issues that actually ARE resolved.
