[Asterisk-Dev] Features requests on bugs.digium.com

[Steve Hanselman]

I think the bug tracker is exactly the place for the feature requests, there
is sometimes a very thin line between a bug and a feature, and you merely
need to relegate one to the other sometimes.

Filter the view, that's what we do on our tracker system; we hold bugs,
requests, actions and enhancements as four separate categories.

What is the problem with using the Bug Tracker for feature requests? Does
it plain not work, or is it that the bug marshalls don't want to see them?

If the former, we need to scope out, and find, a feature/request tracker.

If the latter, perhaps Mantis just needs some more tweaks to make the
feature requests invisible to the way bug marshalls usually work.
