Hello Glady,

thank you for being active in bug triage.  I'm certainly happy you are
attempting to clean out some of the old cruft.

I had a look through the list of bugs you provided.  Why did you close
1770587?  That looks like a valid bug to me.  Regarding 379015, that is
absolutely not an issue appropriate for papercuts.  No nitpick from my
end on 912262.   671835 is not even a bug report in it's current form. 
It is absolutely unclear what happened or where the problem is.  Saying
this would be high importance is totally premature.  I'm not even
convinced this is or rather was ever a bug and not simply PEBKAC.  Even
if this was a bug, there's nothing to make it clear it was a bug in TB. 
In my opinion, the holy grail of bug triage is to reproduce and
understand so that the next step of fixing it can be done.  Coming to
any conclusions before understanding is entirely premature.

In most of the bugs you ask for apport information.  Personally, I find
that annoying when it happens to me and is not necessary if it's done
routinely.  1251059 doesn't really need this, for example.  The rare
times I consider apport information important is crasher bugs or when I
suspect an incompatibility of package versions (or worse, third party
packages).  Personally, I value some kind of control over my data and
don't want it plastered all over the internet.

You've done some good work, thank you.  You are absolutely on the right
track.  I disagree with some of the judgements you made but those aren't
dealbreakers for the most part except for the closure of 1770587.  I'd
cast my vote as neutral at this point.  I certainly assume that given a
few more months, I'd give you an endorsement.

Regards

Rolf
