[Development] Error database cleaning

[Jouni Äijälä]

Hi All,
We have now completed Qt 5.5.x bugs and older. I want to thank everyone for all the cooperation that I have seen during this process so far. Many bugs were updated and are back on track again. Now we have better visibility into the relevant bugs which should be fixed to improve quality.
Starting with Qt 5.6.x bugs we will use "Need More Info" state. If you know that a bug is still reproducible with a supported Qt version please update the "Affects version". In practice there is one month to react and after that the bugs are automatically closed. The error database cleaning  will continue till Qt 5.14 bugs.
Br,

Subject: Error database cleaning

Hi all,

We are planning to clean our error database from the bugs which are not in maintenance scope anymore. As a first step, Qt4 related open bugs will be closed. “Not_in_maintenance_scope” label will be added for further search.
The used query for closing bugs is:
project = Qt AND type = Bug AND component NOT IN (Packaging, "Packaging: Debian", "Packaging & Installer", "Packaging and Installer") AND (affectedVersion ~ "4.*" and affectedVersion !~ "5.*" AND affectedVersion !~ "6.*") AND status != Closed
Note: Packaging-related bugs are filtered out to improve accuracy. A number of bugs have been reported against an incorrect 4.* version (those refer to the IFW version).
