Doc #77403 [Csd]: Issue tracker: Undefined status "Suspended"

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77403&edit=1 ID: 77403 User updated by: chealer at gmail dot com Reported by: chealer at gmail dot com Summary: Issue tracker: Undefined status "Suspended" Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you requinix In that case, since most readers will consider an action like requesting comments as within "the scope of the PHP developers", please clarify by specifying all cases which are considered "outside the scope of the PHP developers". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-06 17:51:02] requinix@php.net > What is "the scope of the PHP developers"? Assuming you know, or have looked up, the definition of the word "scope", "Tickets which are waiting on some action which is outside the scope of the PHP developers." means that the PHP devs cannot change code yet because there is something they need before they can do anything with it. The most common example of this situation is a feature request that needs an RFC because it is potentially difficult or complicated: code cannot be written until the feature is accepted and clearly defined, so such requests are typically marked as Suspended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-06 17:37:03] chealer at gmail dot com Thank you cmb but I unfortunately do not understand what the definition means. What is "the scope of the PHP developers"? Perhaps examples would help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-04 12:05:01] cmb@php.net Automatic comment on behalf of cmbecker69@gmx.de Revision: http://git.php.net/?p=web/bugs.git;a=commit;h=6712d9e13cdc37af96018976ac50b4b1c62b5604 Log: Fix #77403: Issue tracker: Undefined status &quot;Suspended&quot; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-04 12:04:07] cmb@php.net Suspended means, that the ticket has to wait for something to happen. This could either be an upstream fix, or somebody to step up as maintainer of an unmaintained extension, or maybe something else. In the case of PECL/apd[1], the package is unmaintained for years, and it is even prominently marked as being unmaintained. I haven't checked all three reports, but the first has been closed with the comment[2]: | I'm going to mark this bug as suspended, the report can still be | found if a maintainer for APD comes forward. Since there is still no maintainer, the bug has been rightly marked as being suspended. If a maintainer will step up, they can switch all suspended tickets to open, and address them.

Regarding the previous comment on this ticket, if a comment in another ticket explains the role of Suspended, please quote it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
