This morning I'm going to triage all the bugs in Savannah for whether
they need to be fixed before the 2.72 release. There will be a brief
flood of bug-related email.
I will be using the "priority" field in Savannah to categorize the bugs.
Here is a summary of the codes I'm using. (I have also put this into
Savannah itself.)
1 - Blocked: We cannot proceed with work on this bug until something not
under our control happens, such as the submitter providing additional
information, or a change being made to a different piece of software.
2 - Eventually: We want to fix this bug eventually but we are not going
to commit to any particular timeline. Bugs in this category probably
require a great deal of work which no one has volunteered to do.
3 - Release N+1: This bug is not scheduled to be fixed in the very next
release, but we intend to get it done for the release after that.
4: do not use
5 - Unprioritized: This bug is new and nobody has looked at it yet.
6: do not use
7 - Release N (Desirable): This bug is scheduled to be fixed in the very
next release, but it might get bumped to the release after that if we
run out of time.
8 - Release N (Blocker): This bug *will* be fixed in the very next
release, even if that means we have to delay the release until we're
sure it's fixed.
9 - Hotfix: We need to put out a release as soon as possible just
because of this bug.
