+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).
