Becoming a Bug Triager

[Kenneth Venken]

Hello,

Yesterday i tried Assigning Packages to bugs without a package. For some
bugs i managed to find the right package, for most i wasn't really sure
to which package it belongs. (Possibly because i'm just starting out).

There are probably more people like me, trying to start, but finding the
huge amount of packages overwhelming. So, i propose you make some more
'meta packages' like ubuntu (or just tags) like: 'ubuntu-live,
ubuntu-install, ubuntu-boot, ubuntu-shutdown, ubuntu-login,
ubuntu-desktop'

ubuntu-live: using the live cd to do some work
ubuntu-install: issues when trying to install 
ubuntu-boot: issues when starting ubuntu
ubuntu-shutdown: issues when shutting down ubuntu
ubuntu-login: issues when logging in
ubuntu-desktop: bugs that happen after the user logged in. 

Every bug could be triaged into one of the categories and for those that
don't: Set to invalid (when not a bug report) or request user to give
more information. This way at least a little more information is given
to each bug report, every bug gets a little attention and beginners,
like me, feel like we are helping out.

Then a search for ubuntu-boot will give all 'boot bugs' without a real
package and finding the right package can be done by someone who knows
more about the booting process.
