[Tracker-discuss] Create a "stage" field

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

In the "My patches" thread of the python-dev mailing list, Brett and I propose 
a new field to get the "progress" of an issue. I first proposed the stages:
 - initial state: 0% => need more information
 - bug isolated: 25% => need a patch
 - patch present: 50% => patch needs reviewers
 - patch reviewed: 75% => patch just have to be applied
 - issue closed: 100% (done)

Then Brett proposed:
 - triage
 - verify bug
 - test needed
 - needs patch
 - patch review
 - commit review
 - committed/rejected

I don't understand the stages "verify bug": is is different than triage? And 
about "test needed": does it mean that bug is located in Python but we just 
need a script to reproduce the problem? Or that no one is able to reproduce 
it?

About changing automatically the stage, Loewis told me to check "scripts 
directory". Where is this directory?

How can I clone the Python Roundup setup to test changes on my computer? 
(empty issue list, but with the same configuration)
