Re: [Python-Dev] Moving bugs and patches through the pipeline more quickly

When something's assigned to you, you get an email. Isn't that enough? Jeremy has a script to send out reminders to everyone that he used to run weekly, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the speed with which people look at bugs.
I think a "new bugs&patches this week" email wouldn't hurt. Perhaps just "new patches", actually -- as Martin pointed out, these are probably more important. Plus there are less of them, which is no bad thing. Cheers, M. -- 42.

Ah, the "new this week" makes this interesting and different from what we have. I would definitely like to see both new bugs & patches. I can imagine some more features: - resolved items this week (good for morale, assuming it's a number > 0) - active items (items that had at least one comment added or other status change) - comatose items (items with exceptionally long inactivity) - unassigned items - new unassigned items with no comments added (those are the ones that need triage most dearly) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Jeremy's script screen scraped all the html pages, IIRC, and then threw them into a db, from which is nag scripts were driven. All the backend stuff should still work even with a better front-end data sucker, and I propose that he check his stuff into nondist somewhere so the lot of us can tweak and tune it. -Barry
