I sort of feel that issues.dlang.org is an unmaintained mess.
I don't think its state is much worse than that of a typical bugtracker for projects of this scale.
Anyways for the site itself, it seems to be lacking features.
It is a standard Bugzilla instance. We do not develop the software.
When viewing issues as a list there isn't that much information about the issue, other than the summary.
You can create custom views for whatever task you have at hand.
The "Product", completely useless, is D for everything on the site essentially.
We do not use many of Bugzilla's features. Support for multiple products is one of them. (Also is it lacking features or having too many?)
The "Resolution", only ever seen it as "---", maybe it means something for closed issues but I haven't seen any closed issues.
If something is unclear, please refer to the Bugzilla manual.
There's no, "needs work", or "enhancement" or any other description that can add to what the issue is or what it needs to have done to it.
The severity field has "enhancement" as an option.
If it is a bit bigger of an enhancement and needs a DIP to add the functionality.
Feature requests that require a DIP do not belong on Buzilla.
TLDR; The issue system in place right now needs to be removed and a better system with oversight put in place.
Err, no. Just because you haven't seen a Bugzilla instance elsewhere doesn't mean we should replace it. The UI is a bit 90's, but otherwise it has served us well.
