===== Types of things submitted to Bugzilla =====

| Type | With patch? | Suitable for Bugzilla? | Comments |
| "xyz doesn't work for me" | N | N | nothing to do here |
| "xyz doesn't work for me" | Y | Y | needs peer-group triage |
| update | N | N | nothing to do here |
| update | Y | Y | needs maintainer triage |
| regression | N | Y | needs bugbuster triage |
| regression | Y | Y | needs developer triage |
| request for new feature | N | not really | nothing to do here |
| request for new feature | Y | Y | needs developer triage |

===== more brainstorming =====

==== Phabricator ====

Phabricator tends to have a higher percentage of patches.  However, its search capabilities are less than that of Bugzilla.  Thus, it is somewhat more difficult for bug triagers to identify low-hanging fruit.

Phabricator does not have the added-on "maintainer" concept that we have added to Bugzilla.  So, it is very difficult to triage for "maintainer timeout".  (and, in some cases in src, it should not apply.)

==== miscellaneous ====

It's absurd to think that any one person could look at a list longer than 20-30 items at any one time.

===== possibly a checklist format? =====

==== doc/ports/src ====

  * [X] patch?
    * [X] if so, from an upstream?
  * [X] has an interested committer?

==== src-specific ====

  * [X] existing code?
    * [Y]:
      * [X] regression
      * [X] new functionality
      * [X] code cleanup/refactoring
      * [X] robustness
      * [X] performance
      * [X] interoperation
      * [X] virtualization
      * [X] other failure (actual bug):
        * [X] crash/hang/panic
        * [X] failure to boot
        * [X] failure to detect device
    * [N]:
      * [X] new feature (new code)
  * [X] [[https://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/presentations/prs2008/foil11.html|hardware-specific]]?
    * [X] motherboard/chipset/timers?
    * [X] disk/drivers?
    * [X] network?
    * [X] bus-related? (USB, PCI, ...)
    * [X] serial/drivers?
    * [X] power-related?
  * [X] src but not hardware-specific
    * [X] kernel/libraries?
    * [X] userland?
    * [X] toolchain?
    * [X] makefile glop?
    * [X] testing?
