Status: Resolved Later

[Stuart Donaldson]

We wrestled with this, and I am sure I saw somewhere the suggestion of 
using Target Milestones.  That is the strategy we have adopted.  You can 
target this to any of the builds on the current project, or target it to 
the next release, or set the target to deferred which means some 
undetermined future release.

I like the benefit of the required comments when using Resolve/Later, 
however Later was not granular enough, and the paradigm seemed to fit 
the milestone paradigm closer.

We are currently trying to use the Flags for this.  Someone requests a 
review from someone else, such as a UI review, or a Documentation review 
by setting the flag.  We have added global reports as I suggested in 
another thread a while back to allow you to select all bugs in the 
Documentation review queue for example.  This doesn't change the owner 
of the bug, just indicates that input is requested from the 
Documentation team.
