Bug Tracker Workflow

This is a proposal for changes to bug-tracker to implement a software development process into ParaView development.

Goals

• Easier to report bugs
• Easier to identify bugs we are focusing on for next release (major as well as patch)
• Easier to identify bugs being worked on currently
• Easier to identify who's working on what
• Easier to mark/identify the active pool

User Permissions

For this document let's assume following user categories.

• reporters -- anyone, people who report bugs.
• developers -- people who fix bugs (including testers)
• managers -- people who decide what bugs to work on and who should work on them

Reporting Bugs

• Currently there's simple and advanced view for reporting bugs.
• Reporters should just see the following:

 Category: <bug/feature>
 Product Version: <what version this bug is present it>
 Summary: <brief summary>
 Description: <bug description>
 Upload File: <attachments>
