[gmx-developers] GROMACS Developer bi-weekly videoconference

[Eric Irrgang]

Hi Devs.

In the Zoom call today, there were some important clarifications offered about how issues should be annotated to indicate the extent to which they are being actively worked on.

I have tried to record the feedback from Erik and Paul. Please see the commit https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/merge_requests/2591/diffs?commit_id=1dc4a3cdbfbebc1fcbc1310c079010404348a0f8 from MR https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/merge_requests/2591

Two states and their annotations were defined:
* "assign" an issue if you are willing to help coordinate an issue
* Target an issue to a specific Milestone to mean that resources have been allocated and work is planned or underway.

There is a missing state between these two, though, that wasn't discussed.

What is the way to indicate that a proposed change has been "accepted" as something that the team would like to include in gromacs? In other words, how do we provide feedback that the assignee _should_ find reviewers and allocate effort (that would then warrant targeting an issue to a particular milestone)?

Best,
Eric
