At the moment, I would be wary of trying to do too much at the start. Having a process and team in place for getting the PRs triaged is more important than also rating PRs for severity. Once we get this going and see how it’s helping the overall workflow, we can better consider the best ways to expand from there. Adding severity labels is certainly something that we can do in the future. I do note, though, that bugs.php.net does not appear to have a severity rating; tickets are only tracked according to bug/feature/docs/security, and the RFC currently has labels for the first three of those. I think if we’re going to start adding additional labels that go beyond triage, we’d want to coordinate that with bugs.php.net, and that’s getting to be outside of the scope of this RFC. Also: would we even want to add a label for security? If I’m remembering correctly, PHP has a separate (and initially closed) process for tracking security issues, so we may not want to advertise that a PR is security related until after there’s an official announcement. (I think this also means that PRs through GitHub are not likely to be security related. But I’m open to comments/suggestions on the matter.) -John -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
