Can I start working on issue 13187?

[Mark Deca]

Hi. I'm new to v8 development.

I scanned a list of bugs and found the one that seems easy for me to handle: Issue 13187.

Can I start working on this issue? Since its status is labeled as "Untriaged", I feel like I should wait until a project member confirms it (and its root cause?).

Also, pertaining to issue's status, is the following understanding correct?

• Untriaged: Issue is still being confirmed by project members and we should wait
• Available: Issue is confirmed; We can start working on it
• Assigned: Someone is responsible for the issue
• Started: Someone started working on it

Thx,

[Leszek Swirski]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking this on. In general, your understanding is correct, except "Untriaged" is something more along the lines of "no one has had time to look at this yet" -- if you check the bug and confirm it (or even find the root cause) that's already a valuable contribution. Note that sometimes we can be a bit lazy with updating bug status, so it's usually a good idea to send a quick message on the bug to double check that someone isn't already working on it.

Hi Leszek,

Thanks for checking!

OK, I understand.

Actually, I've already checked the bug and posted some considerations on it including its probable cause.

I think I can fix this issue, but I should wait for a member's response, right?
