Обсуждение: Question about criteria for adding items to the v19 open items wiki page

Hi,

Please forgive this probably naive question, as this is the first release cycle I’ve experienced.

I’ve seen people mention putting something on the v19 open items wiki page many times, but I’m not sure what kinds of
thingsare supposed to go there. What should be added there, and are there any criteria for deciding that? 

Best regards,

If you think that we have a new bug in HEAD that was not there in
previous releases, feel free to add it to the open-items wiki page.
Worst case is that we'll determine it's not an issue and remove
it again; but it's better to check such things than not.

In the Open Issues section, I see the first item has no owner listed, so I assume we should add new items to the top of
thelist, and then, once they are confirmed, either an owner will be assigned, or the item will be moved to “Won’t Fix”
orremoved. Is that right?

Further down it says "add new items to the bottom".  I agree
that note is poorly placed.

Ah… I see the note below the open issue list. Got it.

I will add a few items.

Cool.  Please also note that the owner of an item should be the
committer of the feature that has introduced the issue.  Mentioning
the exact commit is also the usual habit when listing an item.

Oh, I had thought the owner would be the person assigned to handle the issue. So, then when I add an item, I will try
toidentify the original committer and the relevant commit. 

By the way, I have already requested wiki edit privileges and am now waiting for approval.
