* Bug database is cluttered with old stuff
* Only triagers and devs can re-open bugs
** Normal people can only clone bugs
* Process:
** For '''Unassigned''' bugs that are 1 year old or more, post a nice comment saying we’re sorry we didn’t get to it and ask for re-confirmation
** Move the bug to Need More Info state
** Send a list of bugs that changed state sorted by priority (especially P0-P2)
** Every month, expire Need More Info bugs that are 3 months old
** For the first time, we’ll start with longer periods, then shorten to the numbers above
* Assignment process:
** Assignee is the person who is going to do the work, conceivably in the near future
** If you’re not going to do work, unassign, '''but keep watching'''
** All bugs need to have at least one watcher
** All components must have a default assignee, who triages
* This applies to Qt only, not Creator
* This applies only to Bugs, not Tasks or Suggestions
