New features for bug supervisors
We are starting to rollout features more rapidly on Launchpad as we move to a continuous deployment model. There are some fixes being deployed today that I want to give Launchpad users a heads up about. These are fixes meant to make the life of a bug supervisor easier.
Bug 114766, Only bug supervisor should be able to nominate a bug for release
Nominating to release has in the past been used as a mechanism to request that the bug be fixed, which is not what the feature is for, and we’ve now made it where only the bug supervisor for a project can nominate a bug for a series.
Bug 347218, Allow bug supervisors to make tags official
Until now, only project maintainers could make a tag an official bug tag. Now bug supervisors have this ability, too.
Bug 664096, Fix Released should be locked against reopening
Bug supervisors waste time when they have to fix the status of a bug that had been marked fixed but later changed by someone else who mistakenly thinks they have the same bug or has the same problem in an older release. The option to change a fixed bug to another status is now limited to bug supervisors.
There’s even more goodness to come as we get close to daily updates of Launchpad. Stay tuned!
