[cmake-developers] Using tags in Mantis

[Ben Boeckel]

Hi,

I was wondering what folks thought of going through the bug tracker and
attaching tags to bugs to help bubble some up to the top.

Some tags are used, but it doesn't seem all that consistent in usage or
style. To start with, how about tags such as:

    cmake-patch
        - Patch attached to the bug (or diff in the comments).
    cmake-ezfix
        - Easy fixes for new contributors.
    cmake-need-policy
        - Bugs which need a policy to be fixed properly.
    cmake-rfe
        - Feature requests.
    cmake-gen-$generator
        - Generator-related bugs (ninja, make, eclipse, vs$year, xcode,
          etc.).
    cmake-platform-$platform
        - Platform-specific bugs (Windows, OSX, Linux, etc.).
    cmake-compiler-$compiler
        - Compiler-specific bugs (xlc, gcc, clang, etc.).
    cmake-lang-$lang
        - Language-specific bugs (c, cxx, java, etc.)
    cmake-policy-$policy
        - Policy-related bugs.
    cmake-find-pkg-$package
        - FindXXX.cmake-related bugs.
    cmake-pony
        - Bugs wishing for CMake to help ponies fly.

The 'cmake-' prefix is because the bug tracker is also used for other
projects. This would also probably be a good time to close bugs which
got skipped over (I found one of mine which was fixed, but that never
got back to mantis).

Any other tags which would be useful (maybe not cmake-pony...)? How much
would tags be used? Would they be helpful?
