In triaging, retriaging, verifying, and closing bugs that are targeted
for 1.0, I have come across a number of bugs whose only contact is
soandso@abisource.com. People like jeff@abisource.com and
bob@abisource.com whom I understand to be people that were around when
abisource was much younger. Most of them I would find hard to
assign/reassign or add cc: for. The following open bugs have been
reported by someone @ abisource.com but are not assigned (did a query on
bugzilla duh):
247 344 349 363 365 372 384 427 428 465 484 519 594 772 777 790 791 436
615 285 858 338 376 358
Are there any people @ abisource.com still active or even passive
developers/participants/users?
It is hard to find out more about a problem when you cant communicate
with the one person who noticed it. Looking for duplicates that may or
may not be there is often a pain when you dont understand the nature of
the problem. I do not modify bug status if I do not understand the
nature of the problem. I oft cannot find the nature of the problem if
the only person involved in the bug did not provide enough info and is
now inaccessable.
What to do? I dont feel like randomly sending emails to the lists and
writing popup dialogues to annoy users that say "Have you ever noticed
such and such a thing? If so, please provide as much info on it as you
can at bug ###"
Thanks for any advice or info on these people.
