Handling issues
===============
Issues are opened in the bug tracker of the project (typically https://github.com/P-p-H-d/mlib/issues )
If the issue cannot be closed and taken into account in less than (typically) one month,
or before a release,
it shall be moved into the long term issues included in the repository:
https://github.com/P-p-H-d/mlib/blob/master/doc/ISSUES.org
This is a file in ORG mode: the issues are created with the proper tags.
The original issue in the tracker can then be closed with the issuer agreement.
This will have the following gains:
- no hard dependencies on any bug tracking infrastructure (can be migrated easily).
- a release will automatically contain all its open problem reports.
Once one issue of ISSUES.org is taken into account,
its state shall be changed to DONE (the issue shall not be removed).
