We're good here. I just added the label maven-messy to
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2258 as an experiment.
I suggest that we use a specific label for the backlog, so:
Old report, no test case:
maven-backlog-cleanup
New report, no testcase:
maven-needs-testcase
Has a patch (this works better than the checkbox)
maven-patch-available
Needs design attention and not just a bug fix:
maven-design
