[Nautilus-list] Handling Nautilus in bugzilla

[Alex Larsson <alexl redhat com>]

The nautilus product in bugzilla now has 1549 open bugs. Of these 123 are 
marked with the GNOME2 keyword. This makes it very hard to use bugzilla 
for day-to day fixing of nautilus 2.

A lot of the bugs are about stuff that changed in Nautilus 2, but a lot 
of them probably still apply to it. But Nautilus 1 has a completely 
different level of feature completion and stability than nautilus 2, so 
the open bugs for nautilus 1 are "trivial" enough that we used to ship 
with them. The nautilus 2 bugs instead are of the form "It crashes when i 
close a window" and "It crashes when i open preferences".

So, i propose that we split the nautilus module into a two modules, called 
perhaps nautilus1 and nautilus2, or maybe nautilus and nautilus1. Then we 
move all the GNOME2 marked bugs to nautilus2 and the rest to nautilus1. 

This way we can use bugzilla effectively for nautilus2, and we don't lose 
the open bugs against nautilus1. Then we can slowly progress through the 
nautilus1 bugs and move the ones that affect nautilus2 to the nautilus2 
module as time goes by.
