Quoting "Daniel F. Kudwien" <news@unleashedmind.com>:
Not necessarily true either: http://drupal.org/project/flag
The best flag for issues is RTBC status.
Flag would also open up the possibility to use other flags for different purposes in the future. Think handbook pages, flagging comments for moderation, etc. It comes with decent Views integration, and is already available for 6.x, too.
Lastly, if you really want to weigh flags like votes: http://drupal.org/project/flag_weights
Priority already gives a weight, we don't need another.
It is possible that a separate glue module might be required to integrate Flag with project* the same way like Project Issue Voting does. However, I'd be up for coding this simple helper, if required.
You ppl have wasted enough time on this. Go check a favorite issue, test it, then change the status as appropriate. Earnie -- http://r-feed.com - subscribe for email notice of a review waiting to happen.
