For the Frost, one of our main activities is going to be the Bug Hunt.
The purpose of the Bug Hunt is to improve our release's quality by tending to some of the many bugs people have reported in the past.
Our first bug hunt focused on regressions found in 0.91. We still care a lot about regressions, of course, but this bug hunt is open season on ALL bugs ever reported. But reports about problems in the website, documentation, translation, packaging, admin, and codebase are all eligible targets, since every one of those areas is vital to achieving a high quality release. Only Wishlist bugs are omitted.
The tally is taken of all bugs closed since the week Frost started (i.e. May 5th). 3, 6, 9, or 12 points are given for low, medium, high, and critical bug priorities respectively.
+1 point will be given per year of age since the bug was filed, to encourage us to tend to older bug reports that have languished in the tracker.
Points will be doubled for all regression-tagged bug reports, even if they were regressions in previous releases.
A Bug of the Week will be announced each week, as we did in the last bug hunt. However, to switch things up a bit, I'm going to have the person who closed the highest total score of bugs in a given week be the person that selects the Bug of the Week for the subsequent week.
