+ * ask users for additional information as needed (sooner is better if you want a response), you can use the moreinfo keyword to denote bugs awaiting a response
* set the severity (how bad does it affect things, is it an enhancement request, etc.)

* close bugs that are invalid.

== Tagging Bugs ==
- '''''Can somebody please explain the tags used in the subject line, I am aware of "RFE" and "[review]"''''' (MalteStretz)
+ Generally in addition to using [http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/describekeywords.cgi Keywords], we use the "Status Whiteboard" field to give a quick overview of what the status of the bug is.

+ Bugs that need peer review are usually tagged with [review] in the subject as this makes it more obvious when reading the dev list that a bug needs review. This should maybe be a keyword also?

- '''''Can somebody please explain the categories used for closing bugs? Specifically guidelines for INVALID vs WORKSFORME''''' (SidneyMarkowitz)
+ * FIXED: it's now fixed in SVN -- this is usually used when a commiter checks in a fix for the bug.
+ * INVALID: it's not actually a bug report, or not something related to SpamAssassin -- "SpamAssassin doesn't work!" or "I can't install SpamAssassin"
+ * WONTFIX: the report proposes something that we do not want to fix either for technical or philosophical reasons -- "SpamAssassin should do anti-virus scanning"
+ * WORKSFORME: it's not reproducible, or the reported behaviour seems to be as designed
+ * LATER: this might be something we should look at in the far future, but for now its infeasible or undesirable -- seldom used
+ * REMIND: we don't generally use this
