De-assigning "Easy pickings" tickets

[Carlton Gibson]

Hi all. 

We don't have many Easy Pickings tickets, they're all assigned, and get assigned quickly, but don't often get closed. 

Looking at the current batch...

https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=assigned&status=new&easy=1&col=id&col=status&col=changetime&desc=1&order=changetime

... I'd like to suggest that after 2 months we de-assign them, so they can get picked up by people looking, who are likely not willing/able/whatever to take over an assigned ticket themselves. 

Any thoughts/objections to that as a policy? 

Thanks. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Hi Carlton,

my only question would be why you picked 2 months over 1 or 3. Generally in favor. I think de-assigning somebody after $time of inactivity on a ticket is fair, regardless of the complexity of the ticket.

Also generally in favor. Is there a bot for such a thing? It would be nice to get a reminder a week or two *before* the unassign happens, either to prompt an update OR an early self-unassign (if the person is not in fact working on the ticket anymore and just didn't remember it was still assigned to them).

Hi Both. 

"Two months” just picked off about half the list looking at it. No real reason. Could easily be less. 

> Is there a bot for such a thing?

No, but bots! We need bots. 💃

Mariatta’s keynote at DjangoCon went over what she’s been doing with CPython.

She’s even got helpers and such on GitHub...

There’s a backporting one. We could easily have that. 

One that looked on Trac and saw if a PR was for a New Feature and then left a comment saying. “Carlton, please remember to check for the ..versionadded annotations” would be very useful for me. :)

I’ll expect something by Monday. 🙂

Have a good weekend all. 

C.

Given no dissenting voices, I'll act on this. 

I'll deassign the stalest tickets and leave a comment for more recently updated ones. 

[Mariusz Felisiak]

Totally agree!

Best,
Mariusz

Non-fellow agreeing here too :)

Got 800 tickets with no one assigned!! https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&owner=nobody I think the GSOC candidates could choose lots of issues related to any specific area/areas or certain big problems by searching these issues?
