[Scaffoldhunter-devel] States of Bugs

[Till S. <til...@tu...>]

Hi, 
i have changed the bug tracker to accept different states of a bug / feature request.

States until now: open, unread, open-accepted, pending, closed, wont-fix

This states did not really follow our workflow and we only used: open, close, wont-fix and very rarely pending.

Now i have changed the Tracker to the following states:
Open States:
- open: the default state for new bugs / feature requests
- in-progress: somebody is currently working on the bug / feature. In this state nobody else should grab the bug without contacting its owner! We can save some mails like "on which features / bugs are you currently working" with this state. 
- needs-info: the bug / feature is stalled, because further information are needed from the reporter to fix it. Is similar to the old state pending (but it describes better what our use case is)
Closed States:
- closed: the bug  / feature 
- wont-fix: we decided to not fix the bug / not implement the feature
- invalid: The bug report doe not follow some minimal conditions (e.g. The bug reported is no bug but a feature ;-), Spam, unclear description). May be used after a needs-info request is not responded for a longer time
- duplicate: The bug was already reported. Please add a reference to the duplicate bug in this case.

Please follow the new states in feature or discuss them if they don't fit your needs. 

Regards, 
Till
