There are items in the tracker that have a resolutions set, but are still open. So the resolution field is the process status field. I don't think it needs to be mandatory. And the status field includes open/pending/close.
Some "resolutions" imply that the issue is still open, and some imply that the issue should be closed.
For example, I won't expect to see the issue still open if it's marked as "won't fix", "duplicate", "fixed", "invalid", "out of date", or "rejected".
There are open items with those items set. won't fix 4 duplicate 0 fixed 3 invalid 2 out of date 3 rejected 2 Some of these may have been closed and reopened at some point.
OTOH, it should be still open if the resolution is "later", or "remind". I'm not decided with "works for me".
Anyway, as I only show the open issues,
Is it "Open" issues or "Not Closed" issues? The later would include "pending" issues as well.
the resolution should be one of the later. Do you think that is useful the color to change if it is in "later" or "remind"? What's the benefit of this?
Note that if we find open issues that are in the first group of resolutions, something should be corrected there.
With 1,328 Open issues, anything that may help move things along would be good. I was thinking of maybe 4 background colors + grey, (Trying to use the existing resolution terms.) light grey: no resolution yet works for me? (can't reproduce?) Positive Progression points: light green works for me? (working patch/fix available?) accepted (patch accepted) fixed (patch applied) Don't close yet: light yellow later remind postponed pending out of date? (patch no longer works?) ready to close: light red duplicate won't fix rejected invalid With darker color vertical marks for status/resolution change points.
Furthermore, I remember that somewhere there was a discussion of these values, and if we should keep all of them or not, but I can't find that thread.
Possibly Here ... http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-November/075160.html It was pointed out that these are hold-overs for SourceForge's bug tracker, and redesigning the work flow triage is something that needs to be done. It refers to ... http://wiki.python.org/moin/TrackerDocs/
