We will have to have people use the assign field for a while before the stats make sense indeed. Arnaud. Alan Knowles wrote:
Reminds me of the old addage that goes something like "There's lies, damn lies and statistics" In their current state, these statistics are probably more harmful than helpful. Since very few people use assigned_to, using it for any statistics is a little difficult. Probably worth removing for the time being.. Regards Alan
I confirm this: after a quick look into my mail archives I found that I "closed" 38 bugs, but I only got 5 assigned to me. The stats are pretty unfair here. IMO, assigning bugs is more relevant for bigger teams than a few maintainers per package. Regards, -- Olivier
