I like the user tag 'incomplete', as moreinfo would yield many false positives, I think. -- Thanks, Maxim

For example, assume ’moreinfo’ is this tag. And consider I am interested in looking for some packages but I am hesitant about the name and let say I think it is phylogeny. Then: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=moreinfo+phylogeny and I find ’mrbayes’ which is the one I wanted. So I resume. Well, instead of ’rejected’, I propose ’unfinished’ or ’incomplete’ or reuse ’moreinfo’ for that. I feel the ’rejected’ as “no way!” when it is not the idea. Cheers, simon

If you want to package elasticsearch, know it's not in the Guix as we speak, and see it as the first item when browsing https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=elasticsearch, I have some hope that someone could find it. Not to mention search engines, which are also good at this. That said, I get your point. Perhaps a 'rejected' user tag would be useful? I doubt most users would know to use them though... but maybe if it's exposed via Mumi it could be helpful. -- Thanks, Maxim

Hi Maxim, For reference [1].

An interested person can > hopefully find these in the archives and resume work on it if they are > so inclined. I am more or less agree. Especially for keeping the tracker healthy. However, I am missing how “an interested person can hopefully find these in the archives and resume work on it if they are so inclined.“ Maybe we could have another usertags for tagging this case or another tag. Else, it appears to me unpractical to find these in the archives. Well, I personally do not even know how or where to start for finding these. Exercise: find the patches that someone pinged their status from the 10 Years of Guix event and another person then closed. :-) Found it? If no, Hint 1: someone was me. ;-) Found it? If no, Hint 2: another person was you. ;-) Found it? If no, Hint 3: it was about elasticsearch. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=elasticsearch Found it? If no, Hint 4: tag ’moreinfo’. Well, if just marked as done, then it appears to me unpractical to find these in the archives.
