Re: Making sure that policy amendments don't die

[Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk>]

I'm not sure I fully understand this.  Can I try repeating it and you
say if I am correct?  I'm also not quite sure how your categories and
Joey's (amendments, consensus, active proposals and stalled proposals)
match up.

Original pre-formal discussion period:
   Subject: [PROPOSAL] blah blah
   Severity: wishlist

Start of formal discussion period, when proposal is put forward as an
amendment:
   Subject: [AMENDMENT DD/MM/YYYY] blah blah
   Severity: normal

If and when a formal proposal is accepted, so that the proposed
amendment is now waiting to be implemented into policy (as listed in
Joey's weekly mailing as amendments or consensus?):
   Subject: [AMENDMENT DD/MM/YYYY] blah blah
   Severity: normal
   Marked as forwarded

When the accepted proposal is actually implemented into Policy, the
-policy group will retitle bug as [ACCEPTED] and close the bug report.
