The "Assigned to" field should mention a + specific developer. +- If an initial + [patch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(computing)) for a bug + has been put into the [Gerrit code review + tool](http://review.gluster.org), the status **POST** should be set + manually. The status **POST** should only be used when all patches + for a specific bug have been posted for review. +- After a review of the patch, and passing any automated regression + tests, the patch will get merged by one of the maintainers. When the + patch has been merged into the git repository, a comment is added to + the bug. Only when all needed patches have been merged, the assigned + engineer will need to change the status to **MODIFIED**. +- Once a package is available with fix for the bug, the status should + be moved to **ON\_QA**. + - The **Fixed in version** field should get the name/release of + the package that contains the fix. Packages for multiple + distributions will mostly get available within a few days after + the *make dist* tarball was created. + - This tells the bug reporter that a package is available with fix + for the bug and that they should test the package. + - The release maintainer need to do this change to bug status, + scripts are available (ask *ndevos*). +- The status **VERIFIED** is set if a QA tester or the reporter + confirmed the fix after fix is merged and new build with the fix + resolves the issue. +- In case the version does not fix the reported bug, the status should + be moved back to **ASSIGNED** with a clear note on what exactly + failed. +- When a report has been solved it is given **CLOSED** status. This + can mean: + - **CLOSED/CURRENTRELEASE** when a code change that fixes the + reported problem has been merged in + [Gerrit](http://review.gluster.org). + - **CLOSED/WONTFIX** when the reported problem or suggestion is + valid, but any fix of the reported problem or implementation of + the suggestion would be barred from approval by the project's + Developers/Maintainers (or product managers, if existing). + - **CLOSED/WORKSFORME** when the problem can not be reproduced, + when missing information has not been provided, or when an + acceptable workaround exists to achieve a similar outcome as + requested. + - **CLOSED/CANTFIX** when the problem is not a bug, or when it is + a change that is outside the power of GlusterFS development. For + example, bugs proposing changes to third-party software can not + be fixed in the GlusterFS project itself. + - **CLOSED/DUPLICATE** when the problem has been reported before, + no matter if the previous report has been already resolved or + not. + +If a bug report was marked as *CLOSED* or *VERIFIED* and it turns out +that this was incorrect, the bug can be changed to the status *ASSIGNED* +or *NEW*.
