Apparently the idea to rename the Priority field value from "Lowest" in Bugzilla to "Needs Volunteer" in Phabricator created more confusion than expected. I am sorry for that - wasn't intended.
To fix that, there are two questions that welcome input in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78617 :
- Our Phabricator currently offers six levels of prioritization. See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Project_ management#Priority_levels Do project maintainers / devs really feel a need for planning to differentiate between "low" priority and one level below that? Or could we reduce our six levels with five levels?
I'd be fine with just 5. I think anything below "normal" signifies that nobody's going to work on it, I don't think we need two degrees to differentiate here.
- If there is a need for a level below "low": Let's rename "Needs
Volunteer" back to "Lowest" (Looking at the proposed names in T78617, "Lowest" seems to be the least confusing term / smallest evil.)
This would be my second choice. "Needs volunteer" isn't clear to everyone as we've seen.
