Joining the BugZappers

Important Account Signups

  1. Obtain a bugzilla account in Red Hat's Bugzilla
  2. 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
  3. After successfully obtaining a Fedora account, view the fedorabugs group and apply to the group by clicking the Apply! button.
  4. 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.

Communication

  1. Join the fedora-test-list
