It would be better to have a bug report which omitted issues of type "rfe". As far as I can see open issues of all other types would be properly classified as bugs.
There there's the Status field. I understand "open" and "closed", but what's the semantic of "pending". Is it awaiting triage, awaiting status assignment, or what? I quite like Django's "triage stage", see http://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=stage&order=priority The stages availabele appear to be "Accepted", "Someday/Maybe", "Design decision needed", "Ready for checkin" and "Unreviewed". OK. maybe "triage" wasn't such a good name for for a four-state condition, but it serves a useful purpose and helps people understand what the ultimate fate of issues they raise might be. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
