Hi Rafaella, > Are you suggesting to remove STARTED and leave NEW and ACCEPTED?
Yes. Well, strictly, I want to rename today's STARTED to ACCEPTED. STARTED has never consistently been used - some people use it as "I started working on the issue", some as "yes, it's mine". We can avoid this by having ACCEPTED only. >> One thing I'd be interested in getting feedback for is the following >> question: Do we need the issue types ENHANCEMENT and PATCH?

Well, patches can be non-enhancements, too. Also tasks can be much more than enhancements, for instance, sometimes we submit tasks to QA engineers or artists, and fixing those tasks does not really mean fixing a bug or implementing an enhancement. So, I think we need DEFECT (I'd prefer to keep that term, instead of renaming it to ISSUE), ENHANCEMENT (or FEATURE, don't care) and TASK.
