  • @krupajnanda supported the idea that contributors should ensure tickets with sufficient test reports no longer carry the “needs-testing” keyword and encouraged proactive keyword checks before picking tickets.
  • @oglekler proposed better planning for future Contributors Day, highlighting interesting or challenging tickets to attract attention.
  • The team agreed on the need for more strategic planning and gradual improvements. @krupajnanda offered to draft a Contributor Day post, incorporating curated tickets with specific keywords, to guide contributors more effectively.
