[Pydotorg-redesign] Roundup field list

[Aahz]

I'm starting this on pydotorg-redesign, then I'll move the discussion
back to pydotorg when things settle down a bit.  

I'm proposing a list of fields (plus what would be handled as a linked
table in a DBMS) for the python.org Roundup-based issue tracker.  I'm
not familiar with what's "standard" with Roundup.  Please feel free to
comment (especially Richard):

Issue Number

Urgency
Importance
    Default sort should be Urgency.  (After many years in tech support,
    I really want this to be two separate fields.)

Status
    New/Open/Review/Closed -- others?

Type
    This field should have defaults (webmaster, event, job, design, bug,
    task, etc.), but should also allow free-form entry (but any
    non-default values should require confirmation from the Roundup
    user).  All Roundup users can add/edit the defaults.

Submitter
    Do we need a separate field for e-mail address, or is an RFC-822
    field good enough for both?  Should there be a separate Creator field
    for Roundup users (defaults to "Roundup" when created by e-mail)?

Owner
    The Roundup user handling the issue, can be blank.

Reviewer
    We don't need this now, but I'd expect we'll need it once we start
    really moving forward with a site redesign.

Datetime Created
Datetime Last Modified

Event Log (optional)
    Dunno how hard this is to do with Roundup (or if it's already there),
    but I'd prefer there to be a log of all changes to issues.  That way
    we can see if an issue has been re-opened or never closed, we can see
    who the various owners have been, we can see what urgencies it's had,
    and so on.  This will become an absolute requirement for moving
    Python off SF, so we might as well start moving on this now.

Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups?
