Handling bug reports on user documentation

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

Hi GNOME documentation team,
hi bugsquad in CC,

Describing the current situation of bug reports about user documentation
issues:

* Some products in GNOME Bugzilla have a "docs", "Documentation", 
  or "User Guide" component
  * Most of these components have the (virtual) default assignee
    gnome-user-docs-maint gnome bugs
    * Half of the products with gnome-user-docs-maint gnome bugs 
      as "Default Assignee" also have it as "Default QA Contact", 
      half of them doesn't. 
      Not a big issue but it makes those reports not easily 
      watchable for module maintainers as they would have to 
      follow all of gnome-user-docs-maint@'s bugmail.
  * Some "docs" components have the default assignee shaunm:
    GGV, gpdf, zenity
    I'd like to change that to gnome-user-docs-maint@ if Shaun is 
    fine with that.
    * Of these, some "docs" components have Shaun also as Default 
      QA contact shaunm (which makes those reports not easily 
      watchable for module maintainers as they would have to 
      follow all of Shaun's bugmail):
      gpdf, zenity
* Some products have NO "docs" component (e.g. brasero). Reports 
  require manual reassigning to gnome-user-docs-maint gnome bugs .
  It is likely that this does not always work perfectly. ;-)
* There is a "documentation" keyword that is used broadly (mostly 
  for developer docs?) with 157 open reports:
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&keywords=documentation
* There might be something else that I have forgotten and that 
  you can add here.


Documentation team members: 
Do you look at documentation bug reports? Is it easy enough to find them
(either for your product only, or in general)? Do you e.g. use
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=describeuser.html&login=gnome-user-docs-maint gnome bugs 
or
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?emailassigned_to1=1;query_format=advanced;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO;email1=gnome-user-docs-maint%40gnome.bugs;emailtype1=substring 
for that?
If you don't look at them, even better: Why not? Any ideas how to make
things easier and better for you?
