Here is another bug triage opportunity!

Right now there are approximately 208 bugs in NEEDINFO for 'rawhide'.

http://tinyurl.com/6559fw

The bugs located by this query need to be reviewed to determine if they 
should remain in NEEDINFO or changed to ASSIGNED or CLOSED (other states 
could also apply).

o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:reporter for less than 30 days -- no 
action should be taken
o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:reporter for greater than 30 days:
    --it can be set to CLOSED:INSUFFICIENT_DATA if the information 
requested of the bug reporter has not been provided and it appears no 
further work can be done without this information.
    --it can be set to ASSIGNED if the reporter has provided the 
requested information
o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:assignee (package maintainer) for more 
than 30 days, review the comments and ping the maintainer as appropriate 
to see what next steps can be taken.
    *DO NOT* automatically close NEEDINFO bugs waiting on a package 
maintainer.

If you come across a bug where you're not sure what to do, ask for help 
on #fedora-qa or reply to this mail with the bug number and someone will 
come to your aide :-)

Thanks for your help!
John


p.s. If you're looking for a bonus opportunity because everyone else 
beat you to the bugs above--here is a query which will locate all of the 
NEEDINFO bugs for Fedora 8 (currently 268 bugs): 
http://tinyurl.com/5kcwkf  You can apply the same steps as above.

p.s.s. If you have been intimidated by bugzilla's interface and fear 
running your own query (I definitely used to be), check out how easy it 
really is by scrolling to the bottom of the query results and clicking 
on "edit search".  Now you can search for your own favorite bugs to 
triage :-)
