6 Can you fix your git config too? See vapier's feedback on creffet.

11 More discussion is needed before we should add this; at least I think
12 it should be brought up during the meeting this Sunday, because we've
13 barely had feedback and at least one suggestion doesn't appear
14 discussed and/or incorporated.
15
16 I've commented on the suggestion by dol-sen which I like the most;
17 especially the assignment part, I think it also contains some other neat
18 additions.
19
20 Besides that, I'll comment my thoughts on some of the other parts here:

28 While this spares out on tracker bugs, we lose the ability to track
29 which bugs were fixed in which version, unless we enforce that all bug
30 numbers get to be listed in the ChangeLog; do we have a policy for that?

49 What is "as appropriate"? As I mentioned, this needs more discussion;
50 please keep this the way it was, it makes the tracker bug more useful.

55
56 For clarity, it should be mentioned that this does not mean to block
57 the tracker for the next version; this could be misinterpreted.
58
59 > +It is encouraged to set the alias field for frequently used bugs.
60
61 Yes, but please set it to something specific enough; I'm tired of
62 searching for a random word and get into one or another old bug.
