[xwiki-devs] Analysis of BFD releases 11.2 and 11.3

I did a quick analysis of 11.2 & 11.3 to see how many bugs we fixed since they were supposed to be BFD releases. The results are not that impressive: * XWiki 11.0 (non BFD): 32 bugs closed * XWiki 11.1 (non BFD) 44 bugs closed * XWiki 11.2 (BFD): 37 bugs closed * XWiki 11.3 (BFD): 54 bugs closed Here’s the graph: https://www.evernote.com/l/AHcQ57uKyNRK-YmB09gvM70OXXVTIhFWcs0 The graph shows that during the period (March and April) we had: * Created issues (128) * Resolved issues (123) So we were not even able to catch up with created bugs during the period. So the question is: why are we not able to catch up? Let’s look at who closed bugs during the period: https://www.evernote.com/l/AHfj3Z0DW8RAuZ0AHw9BX6cnoDZc89KPvog Top resolvers: * Simon Urli - 32 * Thomas Mortagne - 30 * Vincent Massol - 15 * Guillaume Delhumeau - 5 * Marius Dumitru Florea - 2 So one reason is that we roughly have only 2 main issue resolvers (Simon and Thomas) and the other committers are not closing enough. So not enough manpower. Would be interesting to see if we have more bugs being created every month these days when compared to, say, 2 years ago. For ex: * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2019-03-01 and created <= 2019-03-31 ** 70 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2018-03-01 and created <= 2018-03-31 ** 41 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2017-03-01 and created <= 2017-03-31 ** 46 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2016-03-01 and created <= 2016-03-31 ** 81 bugs created More generally: * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2015-01-01 and created <= 2015-12-31 ** 780 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2016-01-01 and created <= 2016-12-31 ** 732 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2017-01-01 and created <= 2017-12-31 ** 609 bugs created * category = 10000 AND type = Bug and created >= 2019-01-01 and created <= 2019-12-31 * 257 bugs created so far. Extrapolates to 257*3 = 771 So it seems we don’t have specifically more bugs being reported in general. So it seems it’s mostly a manpower/focus issue. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
