I put all of those tickets into the tracker. As pharo started it did
it from 3.9 and not from 3.10. We agreed that we should have a look at
all changes made in 3.10 to include the important ones. So it was the
right choice to put all into the pharo tracker.

You are right that it is much more clever to have a look at a problem
_before_ opening a ticket. But this way you lose an automatic way to
keep track of the things "already dealt with". That's the same reason
I included the mantis ticket number in the subject of the pharo tickets.
This way you can easily and fast find the ticket number in the pharo
tracker. Knowing that an issue from mantis has been dealt with in pharo
has its value, too.

We have to build a convention how to do it.
