Yeah, this is confusing in our Trac UI. The "accept" radio button at the bottom assigns the ticket to you, it doesn't actually do anything with the triage state. To change the ticket from DDN to Accepted you'd use the dropdown next to "Triage Stage" up in the box above. I'd be in favor of just removing that "accept" radio button if it isn't hard to do; doesn't do anything you can't do with the "reassign" option, just gets confused with the triage state. > I can't own it since I'm not a core committer. Hmm, I wasn't aware of this policy. We don't seem to make real consistent use of the "owned by" field, but as far as I was aware it was just a way to signal that you were working on this ticket so someone else with interest would check with you before diving in and doing a bunch of work. I thought anybody could make use of this field if they planned to push the ticket forward and wanted to signal that. > Setting it back to nobody set the status to "new". The "new" vs "assigned" in big letters up top is another thing in our Trac UI that I think is at best useless, at worst confusing. AFAICT all it depends on is whether the ticket is owned by someone, and I don't consider that nearly important enough data (or well-maintained enough) to put in big letters right up in the header. Triage state is something we pay a lot more attention to, would seem to make more sense up there. But I think Trac considers new/assigned to be the same piece of state as e.g. "fixed" or "wontfix", and that is something that ought to be right up top. So there may be no simple way to address this.
