# states

If we want feedback PRs with no respondents to go to "stuck" we need
to store the string "stuck" somewhere. (And, what about non-feedback
PRs with no responsible people?)

############################################################
# hooks and custom stuff

"Category" is just a classification scheme, but we need to know (based
on the category) what default subscriptions to create.  There's
currently no way to do this. Since the script for accepting incoming
PRs needs to know about the gnats schema anyway, perhaps there should
just be a table in the database to tell it what to do. That table
doesn't exist yet.

-- * There also needs to be a hook to deduce the package name for
--   pkgsrc PRs by scanning the synopsis. This is going to be netbsd-
--   specific; making it table-driven isn't feasible and probably it's
--   not worth (at least at first) setting up a whole scheme for
--   site-specific extensions. So probably it'll be hard-coded in at
--   least to begin with.

############################################################
# administrative queue

The administrative queue should probably also have a queue for actions
requested by commit messages. (Christos wants to be able to put
something like "PR 12345: close" in commit mails, which is probably a
good feature, but these need to be scanned by somebody to avoid
accidents.)

-- * There should be an incoming queue for stuff submitted via the web
--   interface, because a lot of it will be spam.
--
-- * There should be a whitelist/blacklist for that queue, by IP
--   address or netblock.

# other stuff

-- (the stuff below this point probably isn't getting done before the
-- initial deployment)
--
-- * Should be able to merge duplicates.
-- * Should allow recording dependencies between bugs.
-- * Should store pullup numbers
