Hi all,
I'm continuing to (slowly) work through issues. I have been looking
particularly at a lot of the open issues regarding strftime.
It would be great to put in some of those extra status options that were
discussed recently...
"Open/New"
"Needs help / Chatting"
"Under development"
"Pending feedback"
"Closed"
For everyone's reference, after some debate, the above list of status
options was where the conversation finished. So the two options "Needs
help / chatting" and "Under development" would need to be added. Issues
that are "Under development" should revert to "Needs help / chatting"
after a month of inactivity.
Would it be possible to get these put in? Maybe I'm one of a small
number of people who are nibbling at the bottom end of the bugs, but I
find it somewhat frustrating not to be able to classify the issues that
I find into "needs help / chatting" vs "under development" to help make
more sense of the search results.
Cheers,

Maybe a flow chart can help unambiguize things a bit. What follows is
maybe one starting place. I tried to separate steps that might be done by
users from developers so that there is a clear order to the process. This
seems to follow the general way that python issues are resolved from what
I've observed.
While this chart separates the descriptive/brain storming and patch making
parts of an issue, in actuality, a patch (tests, fix, and docs) can be
developed partially or fully in the discussion faze for the purpose of
helping the discussion, then later reused and fine tuned in the patch
making faze.
Hope this is helpful and doesn't get too mangled in sending.
