Many only change the states (actually, have the states changed for them) on adoption, and when the document is sent to the IESG. Right, because datatracker has been designed for ADs, not for WG chairs. I get very little help out of datatracker doe the actual WG chair work (the lists of documents, document history etc. of course are great). I can’t even enter begin and end dates of WG calls! No dashboard of calls running and completed, consensus recorded, etc. > So, the data you are looking for is necessarily imperfect. If there were a point to entering this information into the datatracker, maybe we chairs would do that more. > Different WGs work differently and that's a _strength_ not a bug. Yes. But we all have to press the “submit to IESG” button (which is well-supported by datatracker) at the end, and WG adoption and last-call are pretty common milestones as well, which datatracker *could* support.
