also it did this ~10 hours after my 'Needs-Feedback' request, while I was asleep (which is kinda annoying). Is it meant to be 7 days?

Sheriff-bot checks to see if a ping from reporter was given after the "Needs-Feedback" and then assigns back.

Here in the bug  Issue 630618  the label was added and a ping was received from reporter.

We have modified this rule so that sheriff bot waits for 7 days before adding "Needs-Review" label rather than checking daily and updating.

This change went in today and from tomorrow's run you should see a waiting time of 7 days.

I'll leave the bug open, let us know if this works. Thanks

But then the feedback-requester also pinged, asking for more feedback. Is this taken into account?

We discussed this in  issue 593390  comment #5  and 596470
We decided to continually checking for responses/ removes needs-feedback quickly.

Since now we wait 7 days before checking, we should consider this. Anthony, could you please provide your input on this.

Thanks

In our instructions for Mac triage, we archive bugs that have Needs-Feedback, but no feedback, after 30 days. 7 days is too soon.

Also assigning the feedback *requester* as owner for feedback-requested-but-no-feedback bugs is always the wrong thing to do -- all the requester can do is close the bug.

Pinging the bug so that the *reporter* is reminded to provide feedback might be OK, but there's nothing for someone who's just asked for feedback to do except wait for that feedback or close the bug. (and, nit: in the Mac triage, closing feedback-requested-but-no-feedback bugs is the job of the triage person, not the feedback-requester).

We too archive the bug only after 30 days if feedback is not received. [This is not changed]

All we changed is now we wait for 7 days before checking to see if feedback is provided.
And if feedback is provided we don't change any bug status ( we add owner as a requester only when there is no owner). No bug status will be changed. 

> And if feedback is provided we don't change any bug status

What if feedback is *NOT* provided?

If feedback *IS* provided, and it's being ignored, then that's bad. I actually would suggest doing something to the bug.

But when feedback is *NOT* provided (yet) then there's nothing for the requester to act on -- why make them an owner?

if Feedback is not provided, then we shouldn't update to bug until it reaches 30 days.

Checked again: if Feedback is *NOT* provided (i.e no ping from reporter is sent after "Needs-Feedback" label), then we are not updating to bug until it reaches 30 days. Thanks

OK - that's very different to what happened at  http://crbug.com/630618#c5 , but if the wait-30-days behavior only rolled out in the last ~day then that would explain it.

Thanks for looking into this. From my end, feel free to close this out unless you're waiting for further comments.

Thanks closing this.
