Gryllida added a comment. There are three states a task may take.
A) We clearly know that if an issue is assigned, then someone (the team or a volunteer) took it. If an issue is not assigned, then either B) it's about to get assigned when someone from the team takes it, or C) it's something the team doesn't want to work on right now (although it's ok if someone else does). What we need to do is invent a way to distinguish between B and C without abusing the "priority" field, because volunteers should have the ability to invent tasks which Teams don't need, and use priorities within that set of tasks. By abusing this field, we leave volunteers to scribble notes on a piece of paper as to what they need to do first and what they need to do last. Now, let's invent a way to use the "assigned to" field to distinguish between B and C. Thanks much. :) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268 REPLY HANDLER ACTIONS Reply to comment or attach files, or !close, !claim, !unsubscribe or !assign <username>.
