The next problem is a hint generated by default_workflow.py. It

I have had a look at XPath and there is py:replace but it wants to
replace an entire string. It doesn't seem to permit what I want.
Maybe I should write a tool to patch the source so at least I can run
it each time I update trac.
Is there another way?
One other solution that was previously proposed for similar problems is
creating a custom "translation".
I don't know how much work that is though.
It does look a bit tricky and I do need to implement translations in my
project. Whether that means Trac needs translations too is not clear to
me just yet.
[1] Rename ticket to incident:

[2] Renaming severity:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.general/32856/focus=32901
Dropping severity and using a custom field isn't as pervasive as owner.
I think I have to avoid disrupting Trac's flow. I don't want to
introduce real change - just cosmetic change.
I agree in principle with the last-in-thread message [2] that it is best
to re-educate users to existing Trac terms but unfortunately "owner" is
embedded in project governance which was somewhat inspired by Scrum. The
problem is owned by the user/stakeholder. The ticket only represents the
problem rather than being centre stage itself.
So the best solution is to stay 100% with the Trac flow and just rename
owner to developer. We can educate users easily enough to use Cc to
represent the real owners. We can't tell users they are the real owners
and then let them see misleading labels.
I'll look at forking Trac for a while with a view to parameterising so
the owner can be replaced with developer in trac.ini
It seems my problem isn't unique so it might be useful in the longer
term (no pun intended).
