I like these ideas. The last increase to the number of ways to classify a little while back was a big improvement. I think there is some merit to adding the categories you mention below. +1 On 1/8/06, Greg Knaddison <greg.knaddison@gmail.com> wrote:

Don't drop everything else. Just commit to doing 20 to 30 minutes per day reviewing patches, investigating and hopefully squashing a bug or two.
I have been trying to do this, but have a few questions.
Many of the "critical" bugs only affect a small group of people. I think that there are really two ideas that need to be expressed (severity and priority) but they are jammed into the one field (priority).
If we encounter bugs that are severe, but which only affect a small group of people, should we change their priority to "normal" just to get them off this list?
It would also be nice to have a status of "not-repeatable" since that seems like a discrete problem different from the current status values. Or should those items just get turned into "support requests" and moved out of the queue?
