Just how complicated do we want to make this issue tracker?
I don't think anyone wants it complicated.
For my part, I just want to go over the open issues without
weariness, and fix a certain subset. I think Oswald wants to keep
wishlist items open and together with the bug reports in case
someone comes along and wants to do that.
I think what we need is someone who will commit to doing triage,
and that person gets to manage the gitlab issue list.
(I personally don't want to do triage. I want to fix a certain
class of bugs, and right now those bugs are needles in a
haystack. I'll do triage if necessary, not out of desire.)
Isn't this whole discussion being blown out of proportion?
Mutt is a mail client, not an operating system, and it's a
mature email client at that.
Are we really getting feature requests that require such an in
depth and regimented approach?
No, but there's quite a number and variety. The last one I closed
was for POP3. Someone wanted the equivalent of IMAP IDLE for
POP3. I can't pretend that someone's going to implement that, I
can't even muster any sort of hopeful reply. If I'm going to
respond to that requester, the only thing I can possibly say is
"sorry, not going be implemented by anyone other than you, but
patches welcome".
Can't we just keep a list of ideas and suggestions that nobody
has yet written code to implement, and mail it to the list once
a month?
Move the responsibilty to keep the idea 'at the top of the pile'
to the person who submitted it in the first place.
That would be fine with me, if anyone volunteers.
