Checklist for resolving a [PATCH] bug

Hi Folks, As part of my RT 'clean-up' project I've been trying to get bug metadata into a consistent state. Maybe someday we'll be able to generate some worthless statistics that will look pretty in a presentation. :) Anyways, It would be great if everyone handled bugs in the same manner. I'm pl

Hello all. I would like to propose that class methods do not get inherited along normal class lines. I think that inheriting class methods will, in many cases, not DWIM. This is largely because your are inheriting behavior, and not state (since class attributes are not inheritable). Let m
