The process of handing incoming issues is the following:
We've many roles:
- Process managers - initially triage issues and manage labels.
- Decision makers - participate in discussions moving them to resolutions.
- Bug hunters - verifying bugs.
- Contributors - create code for pull requests.
- Code reviewers - review pull requests.
A single person may take one or more roles in the issue resolving process.
We label issues to mark many things: current status, issue type, component affected. Status labels speak for themselves.
Issues aren't assigned to milestones unless they're critical or there is a likely good pull request exists.
