[Qgis-developer] New field in bug tracker

[Gary Sherman]

I have added a "Must-fix" field to the bug tracker. This field should  
be set to "Yes" for all bugs that must be fixed prior to a release.

Why add a field? To me the priority fields define the severity of the  
bug rather than its relationship to the release. There are critical  
bugs (crashers) that must be fixed, but there are also other less  
severe bugs that should be fixed prior to release. This field allows  
us to tag those and consider them for resolution prior to release.

We have done similar things in the past, listing issues that are must  
fix. This just formalizes that a bit without making torturing the  
priority field in trac.

That said, marking everything as must fix for the initial 0.8 release  
will just delay things. Lets use the field to mark those bugs that  
are easily fixed and will close some long standing issues.
