什么是Bug分拣者?
我们是Bug分拣者，由社区活跃人士以及Red Hat公司的雇员组成。我们的主要任务是检查并分类已提交的Bug(这些Bug位于bugzilla.redhat.com)。这个角色就像是一座连接用户和开发人员的桥梁，起到尽快解决Bug的作用。
Help Wanted
Triaging bugs helps package maintainers spend more time on actually fixing bugs, and provides needed assistance to other Fedora users. No programming knowledge is necessary, and triagers don't necessarily need to understand the bugs they are working on - just help others communicate about them. To find out more about why and how to become a BugZapper, see Joining.
Responsibilities
- Triage Fedora bugs in Bugzilla. Request missing information, verify correct component has been chosen, and close duplicates.
- Nominate "target" and "blocker" bugs (tracked here) that should be fixed before the next release, according to the release criteria.
- Perform housekeeping during release EOL ("End of Life") transitions in coordination with ReleaseEngineering.
- Identify and Document Common Bugs.

Communication
BugZappers meetings are held on every other Tuesday at 2100 UTC (4 PM EST/1 PM PST) in #fedora-meeting on freenode. See the UTC Howto for instructions to convert UTC to your local time. Everyone is welcome, and we invite you to come and participate. Topics of discussion for the next meeting as well as IRC transcripts of previous meetings can be found here BugZappers Meetings.
You can also find us on #fedora-bugzappers, stop by and say hello and feel free to ask any questions you have. Also, you can keep up to date with what is going on in the BugZappers by subscribing to the test mailing list. Alternatively, the test-announce list carries only important event announcements, if you do not want the traffic of the full list.
