If we can settle on a desired set of criteria to report on, Robert says he can
make a more efficient (and accurate) version of the report, as he has direct
access to the RT API. (I'm doing a lot of grepping through plain text
renderings of ticket summaries, which is, of course, evil.)
Parrot Ticket Summary
There are currently 277 new/open tickets.
The oldest ticket was created on: 12Dec2001 [#192]
The average (mean) age of tickets is: 63 weeks
Platforms
All: 1 cygwin: 3 freebsd: 3
Linux: 3 MacOS X: 2 mswin32: 5
os2: 1 other: 2 Unspecified: 252
vms: 1 Win32: 7
Languages
BASIC: 1 tcl: 4 Unspecified: 272
The current one gives us pretty useless numbers. The current batch
tells us, basically, that most stuff isn't specified in any meaningful
way (perhaps we should make RT smart enough to figure out the platform
from the myconfig, and promote to platform=all as approps).
Perhaps have a pair of keywords or a data item for "has been made into a
test", and we should provide a list of bugs that have not been marked
that way, and also have not been marked as "can't make into a test".
