I see. Not everything is listed on the issues then. Are the documents public? Not that I would know what to do with their content but it's always interesting
yeah #curl has just 16 open issues. I'm a firm believer in not having a lot of open issues so we in fact never do. We work really hard on that. A project philosophy.
@ainali it's just something I live by. Issues that go stale and nobody works on them just end up hiding the real and important problems so we either fix them or we document them separately as "known bugs" because nobody works on them anyway.
This way we all know that the existing issues are *real* issues.
@wolf480pl @ainali the issue tracker is the active current bugs that someone cares about. There are also stale old bugs no one bothers about and they are in the known bugs document.
@ainali hmm so if I find out that a bug noone looked at for 2 years affects me, I'll search for its symptoms, find it in the old bugs document, and be able to read known workarounds discovered be other people before... but if I wanted to add information or describe a usecase in which the bug is a big deal, I'd have to open a new issue?
@wolf480pl @ainali pretty much, yes. Chances are also that your current take and experience of the problem is now slightly different than it was two years ago so a new issue with updated details and conditions is useful.
@ainali @wolf480pl we add features using pull-requests. People asking for features should be closed, converted to a PR or end up an entry in the TODO list.
@ainali @wolf480pl no. We don't have "few things to do", we just move away issues that don't move and nobody cares about into a separate list. The issues is then the true and living issues and people don't get lost among all the idle ones.
Every project has such idle issues, some just chose to let them linger in the primary issue tracker. I find that messy.
@ainali @wolf480pl having and adding ideas is just so easy and we drown in "good ideas". Making ideas turn reality is what's hard and takes work. I often resist adding ideas for that reason.

If someone wants to make one of those reality, such an effort would become a PR fairly soon I would expect.
