A comment and a question about the status field of the issues list.
Comment: with Google code, the status was automatically set to "Accepted"
for issues manually entered by a registered user. I see no reason for
not
continuing this policy, but it does mean that bug squad members (and
anyone else entering issues) needs to remember to set the status
manually.
Question: there's a number of patches from _ages_ ago
labelled "needs_work". I believe we should change them to "abandoned",
Actually - after reading the CG for how patches are handled (I am
currently updating the CG here), it is the Patch Meister's
responsibility every 6 months or so to list all patches that are
needs-work to see if they should be changed to abandoned and preferably
by the dev who had the patch.
So i will try to do that on the next countdown.
but I also think that there's no point in leaving them
as "new", "accepted" or "started". Seems to me that any with
patch:abandoned should be marked with invalid status. Does the list
agree?
What about setting it to 'blank'?
