    This makes the ticket handling a bit more complicated. Why is this
    necessary? Are different tickets for the same bug really great? I
    think
    the rational is that if a bug is fixed in version x, then it is also
    fixed in all versions x + i.


It is a human assumption but it doesn't work out right for using Trac to generate release reports. Each ticket has a single milestone. So it would be fixed in 4.10.n but we don't know where along the 4.11 series it got fixed based on Trac 4.11 release reports.

Creating an arbitrary number of tickets for one bug looks like a workaround for a Trac or release note generator shortcoming. Each ticket should probably have a list of milestones.

There should be definitely some guideline for this since this was at least not obvious to me.

Chris used the blocked by field to link such tickets:

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3323

I used update commits in the past and a close commit for the first milestone, e.g.

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2622
