the "suspended" by itself makes little sense, given that nobody will deliberately put a PR in suspended state: if anything, they will be moved to "closed" state. I'd rather suggest to just put some code in the generation of the list of PR's that flags entries whose status has not been updated for a long time as "stalled" (and maybe showing them in a different color on the web interface) so people can be hinted on which entry to close. cheers luigi On Tue, Mar 19, 2002 at 01:18:15AM +0100, Dag-Erling Smorgrav wrote: > In light of the controversy and confusion that reign over the precise > meaning of the "feedback" state, I would like to suggest the following > revision of the Gnats states: > > open Default state for a new problem report. > > analyzed The problem is understood and a solution is being sought. > > suspended Work on this PR has been suspended due to lack of > information or resources. > > feedback Further work requires additional information from the > originator or the community - possibly confirmation of > the effectiveness of a proposed solution. > > patched Patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or > confirmation from originator) are still open. > > closed PR has been resolved or abandoned. > > The most significant change is the addition of the "patched" state, > and the ensuing disambiguation of the "feedback" state.
