===Methodology for bug tracking and triaging – to peer reviewing and fixing:===
# The user finds a bug in the latest release and then puts it into track.
# The bugsquad does triage. Triage means assessing the bug, validating it, and giving it a priority, and milestone (which release its going to be fixed in.)
# At some time, someone will try to fix it, usually a core developer. If it’s not a core developer, it will always be attached as a patch and reviewed.
# Next step is peer review.
# Patch gets improved, turned down, or accepted. This loop will continue until the parties are happy with the code status.
# Someone with commit access commits the patch.
