[mantisbt-dev] A couple of questions relating to plugins

[Victor B. <vb...@gm...>]

Paul, John, all,

1. Can we have a core team git group that can be automatically added to all
plugins on git.mantisforge.org.  Or ask the owner of the project if they
want to add access to mantisdev, the same way owners are encouraged to add
"mob" group by the gitweb tool.  We can also ask plugin owners to do that
rather than just adding the specific dev that is helping them out.

2. We currently have the following ways to manage bugs for plugins:
a. An issue under the MantisBT project similar to the "Email to MantisBT"
issue which currently has above 400 notes and is not scaling very well +
doesn't provide a good management experience.
b. Each plugin hosts their bugs somewhere (e.g. source plugin) + add a link
to the bug tracker from the readme file.
c. Come up with a project per plugin OR a single project + category per
plugin approach on our bug tracker.
d. Use Product Matrix -- at one point John mentioned that we may be able to
use this plugin for managing plugins.

3. We also need a way to catalog the plugins, their downloads, notes,
evaluations and links to the bug tracker.  I think Product Mantrix was the
plan here, but I'm not sure.

-Victor.
