In the last few weeks I was able to review a few hundred (about 400) issues that were inserted in the issue tracker.<br><br>These are some thoughts:<br>1. People have the habit to request features for the Drupal version they
use, instead of requesting them in the HEAD.<br>We could have a way to stop users from adding these requests to versions other than HEAD<br><br>2. Support requests stay months without a single response!<br>In
my opinion there is no gain in putting support requests in the issue
tracker. A forum is the right place to discuss support, and if in some
cases these requests generate a feature or a bug report then they would
be inserted in the right place.
<br>OTOH, if we continue to have support requests in the tracker, we
should had them a "valid for" date.(e.g. close automatically all suport
requests older than 4 weeks)<br><br>3. Patches (and bugs) stay in older queues for too long.<br>It seems that no one has interest in working and reviewing older patches.<br>I
think that to have a good issue flow, we need to be more responsable in
solving ASAP older bugs and not let them increase as it happens today.<br>
