stale bugs

[cellio]

I just had a case of "ignore a (reported) bug long enough and it will go away". The bug was real when it was filed, but when I looked at it today I found that independent actions had already fixed it.

I made my save against mischieveness, so I did not resolve it with the status "works for me". :-)

If any of my coworkers are reading this, you are not to adopt this approach with bugs I file against you!

Is the tactic of tossing bugs into the eternal cycle of continual reassignment still allowable? :)

That depends on who you reassign them to. Reassignment to someone with hundreds of bugs who doesn't receive Bugzilla email notifications doesn't get you off the hook. :-)
