Indeed. It's not like tagging a bug 'easy' would be written in stone. Someone may read the bug report and think that finding the problem is easy. Maybe, after further investigation from someone actually trying to solve the bug, it might be discovered that it was actually quite hard, then the tag could be changed. Many times it's possible to assess how hard or how difficult it is to fix a bug, specially for the maintainer of a package. Maybe we could a "need to investigate" level as well. > I feel comfortable with wontfix, moreinfo, unreproducible, pending and some > others tags only. These aren't a drop-in replacement but works, imo. No, this is not the idea, and it won't work as what I want to do. I want to create a new sort of listing that makes bugs that need fixing appealing, for people that are not maintainers, so that they will contribute with patches. The current tags do not serve this purpose. If you are comfortable with the current tags, that's great, because they aren't changing. The usertags are a way for tagging bugs without intruding into the maintainer's way of handling bugs. In this particular case, it's a way of categorizing bugs from the random contributor point of view, which isn't usually the same as the maintainer's point of view. -- Besos, Marga
