Hi all,

today, while talking on #webkit, i got two questions which both should be answered in the bug life cycle document on the WebKit page as well, in my humble opinion. To be able to do that, i'd like to get some consensus on them.

The first one, brought up by Alexey Proskuryakov (ap), is this: when a bug can't be reproduced anymore but has been confirmed at one point in time, what to do with it? My answer for this would be to close it as "WORKSFORME" and not as "FIXED", since you don't know what fixed it. Ideally we would create a new resolution for this, something like "FIXED WITHOUT SOLUTION" or something like that, have you people perhaps got any thoughts on this?

The second one: a bug that is fixed goes to verified, and to closed when it's in an Apple release of WebKit. However, as Mitz Pettel pointed out, we have bugs as well which are regressions from previous versions, these will, when fixed, never get into a release. I propose that we close them anyhow, since they should have a keyword which indicates that it was a regression.

Everyone agree with the second? Any thoughts on the first? I'd be glad to hear from you all! 

Kind regards,
Joost
