Perhaps make lists of
- bug reports which never lead to any debug activity
(no responsible person/team was found, or a seemingly person/team
did not start to debug the report)
- known regressions on release,
- regressions that became known after release,
- subsystems with notable backlogs of old bugs,
- other categories?
It is unworkable in wiki.
There is a new regression field in bugzilla, but it is only the first
step to implement regression tracking feature.
Select typical cases from each categories, analyze what went wrong in
these cases, and try to identify practicable countermeasures.
Another approach: Figure out areas where quality is exemplary and try
to draw conclusions for areas where quality is lacking.
