Tracking regressions across releases of Ubuntu

Registered by Brian Murray

Currently the Ubuntu QA Team is using regression- tags to track bug reports. However, the tags aren't really release specific so there is no way to tell when a regression appeared and if it is a regression that has been carried forward between releases. This should be resolved before the quantity of regression- tagged bugs increases any further.

Whiteboard

<JFo>I wonder if it is currently possible for us to do this already using tags. We currently tag based on release, plus we do a pretty good job of identifying regressions and tagging them as such. It should be possible to do an advanced search based on release tag and regression- and gather bugs that contain All of those.

Work items:
[pvillavi] Document the policy on the HowToTriage page and create a Stock response: TODO
[pvillavi] Organize a bug day to review regression-potential bug reports and transition them to regression release if they fit the new policy
(being in a Triaged status and Lucid report) target the bugs to Lucid: TODO

(?)
