Yes, I noticed this as well.

Probably that we should indeed do something like that. But once closed they're harder to find, so maybe we could proceed by adding a page in the wiki with a few links: - opened feature requests (not handled yet) - opened feature requests (in progress) - closed feature requests (implemented) - closed feature requests (not implemented or differently) And we'd simply tag "fixed" the ones implemented as desired. For the not-yet vs wip I don't see any currently valid label, which also makes me think that we could *possibly* benefit from an "in progress" which is valid both for bugs and features. However one could argue that an issue without a status label would imply it's in progress, which would then suggest that we'd need to add a "status: triage" to new features just like new bugs. Just my two cents, ideas welcome of course! Willy
