We manage issues consistently for the benefit of ourselves and our users.
Use labels.
When you first triage an issue, you should:
- add one of the
status: needs *
labels, e.g.status: needs discussion
- don't add any other label
After triage, you should add:
- one of the non-need
status: *
labels, e.g.status: ready to implement
- zero or one of the
type: *
labels, e.g.type: new rule
- zero, one or more of the
syntax: *
labels, e.g.syntax: scss
- optionally, the
good first issue
,help wanted
,priority: high
andupstream
labels
Use milestones.
You should:
- use the
future-major
milestone for issues that introduce breaking changes - optionally, create version milestones (e.g.
8.x
) to manage upcoming releases
Rename the title into a consistent format.
You should:
- lead with the CHANGELOG group names, but in the present tense:
- "Remove y", e.g. "Remove unit-disallowed-list"
- "Deprecate x in y", e.g. "Deprecate resolvedNested option in selector-class-pattern"
- "Add y", e.g. "Add unit-disallowed-list"
- "Add x to y", e.g. "Add ignoreProperties: [] to property-disallowed-list"
- "Fix false positives/negatives for x in y", e.g. "Fix false positives for Less mixins in color-no-hex"
- use
*
if the issue applies to a group of rules, e.g. "Fix false negatives for SCSS variables in selector-*-pattern"
You should use saved replies.
