should every bugfix have a bugreport?

Hi, I think it would be really nice, if we could have a policy that bugfixes should always have an issue on http://bugs.php.net. Of course if the bug was spotted and fixed before a public (stable or qa) release was made should be excluded from this rule. So when fixing the bug and adding the NEWS entry for a bug which wasn't reported through the bugtracker, then one should check the bug database and if no report is found he/she should create one. For the projects/exts which are using other type of bugtracker (opcache and phpdbg comes to mind with the github issues), those would be ok to use. Having this policy would mean a bit more work for those fixes which doesn't have an issue at hand, but I think it would still worth it for the following reasons: - sometimes explaining the need for the change or why do we have to fix that way can't be summarized in a commit comment. - the NEWS entry is also used for the changelog ( http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php) and for the release announcements, and if somebody want's to complain about some change that we made, it is easier to reference it if there is a bug linked to it. what do you think? -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
