Milestones and priorities

Hello Folks, I have to apologize. I started to use the Milestones feature of Microsoft GitHubs Issue section. I did this because I like the progress bars in the milestones. ;) Then I remembered that we still have priority tags (low, medium, high). This is a bit interfering, I know. So I stopped with the milestones and would like to discuss. My intention was to have nice looking progress bar and to reference the issues to something like a roadmap or timeplan. Time is relative! I created just three broad milestones. 1. One for the next release (1.3.4) within the next 6 to 18 months. 2. One for the release after the next release (6-24 months). 3. One for far away features that might be implemented or maybe never will be implemented (24 months and further). The time and dates are not fix. It is just a number. And I assume that 2 and 3 can be divided into smaller and more granulated milestones as the development progress. Sidenote: There is still an exception coming up. Depending on how Debian reacts on the Issue #1410 (keyring stuff) we might do a new point release (1.3.4) in the next days. That fast it can go. ;) I'm interested in your thoughts. Kind Christian

I love this milestone feature as quick overview but it requires a little bit of discipline (feature creeping etc.). I think it does not interfere with the (prio) tags since the HIGH prio alone does not mean it will be fixed in the next release (e.g. because it is not yet reproducible or too complicated or risky to fix).
I think the Debian packagers did create a patch from my fix so there is need for a new release just for Debian so far: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998105#94
