Hi,
from time to time when I try to go through upstream issues I always feel
that the labels we have are suboptimal and don't always allow to track
the current state of the issue.
Recently I've had a look at the qemu issues and found what I was
lacking.
Specifically I'm lacking the 'workflow' class of labels they use.
I propose we adopt the following changes:
1) Convert the existing 'bug', 'enhancement', 'support', and
'discussion' labels into a set of scoped labels (again inspiration taken
from qemu):
kind::bug
kind::enhancement
kind::support
kind::discussion
kind::documentation
This is mostly as the above kinds are mutually exclusive.
2) Introduce the workflow label similarly to what qemu uses:
workflow::Confirmed/Triaged (<- confirmed for bugs, triaged for
enhancements)
workflow::Needs Info (replaces "needinfo")
workflow::In progress (replaces "Doing")
I'd also potentially like to have a 'Unconfirmed' state for when the
bug has enough info, but it's unknown why it's happening.
I want to specifically avoid the ambiguous "Triaged" when used on it's
own.
3) Convert host-* labels into a scoped label. Hosts are usually mutually
exclusive
4) Convert driver-* into scoped labels. Usually issues are not exceeding
these boundaries
5) Remove the following unused or ambiguous labels:
- critical
- incident
- Doing
- To Do
- gsoc::20* (all seem to be unused)
I'm willing to go ahead and re-triage open stuff if nobody objects to
the above changes.
