Re: [Scaffoldhunter-devel] States of Bugs

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

Hi, 
i added one more open state:
- needs-review: If you have fixed a bug / implemented a feature, but you want somebody else to review it before closing the bug, this is the right state. You should go for this if you have changed a larger part and want to be sure you have not introduced new bugs.  This is also a good way to tell the reporter of a bug, that he should test, if the bug is also resolved for him. In the later case you should also write a comment with the request to retest and specify the version / branch he should use. For a general review you might want to add a hint, what parts should be reviewed more precisely than others. 

Regards,
Till
