Hi everyone,

I've been noticing in the last few months (and I'm sure it's been a problem before) that we have contributors submitting bug reports, and then immediately fixing before triage,  or there are patches without bugs (or blueprints) and it's becoming quite confusing.

I am finding that this is a problem because some of these bugs are personal issues they're finding with their individual builds, or on occasion it is a bug that needs to be fixed and individuals are offering the wrong solutions and immediately trying to patch it up in the documentation.

Personally, I'm unsure how to solve this issue, and wondering if we can get a think tank going on how to solve this.

So far all I've been able to do is to remind contributors to wait for a second individual to triage, or the patch is eventually abandoned due to several negative reviews (which, ultimately encourages said contributor not to come back because we look like a very negative community).

We can do more "bug triaging days", but not everyone is to give the time to this exercise.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Questions?

Thanks,

Alexandra Settle
