Joining the BugZappers
Important Account Signups
- Obtain a bugzilla account in Red Hat's Bugzilla
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi
- Fedora's bugs are tracked in Red Hat's Bugzilla
- Obtain a Fedora Account
- This is necessary to obtain additional permissions in bugzilla needed to triage bugs
- It is necessary that the e-mail address used for your Bugzilla and Fedora accounts are the same
- After successfully obtaining a Fedora account, view the fedorabugs group and apply to the group by clicking the Apply! button.
- If you can commit to being a regular triager for the current release cycle, add your name to the Active Triagers page.
- This is a simple reference so that package maintainers know who the triagers are
- It also gives us a rough idea who is triaging bugs in which components
This does mean certain components are reserved. If you are unfamiliar with a component and someone is very active there, it is probably a good idea to pick a different component.
