2. 'issue priority' group
- prio:low
- prio:normal
- prio:high
This is to help prioritise work. Issues with prio:high take precedence over prio:normal. prio:normal issues take priority over prio:low. A lower priority issue may be taken up if a higher priority issue is either blocked or deferred.
3. 'issue status' group
These labels describe an issue's state in a defined workflow. A new issue will have tag status:new. The dev team will change tag to status:confirmed if we are OK to pick up the change soon, status:deferred if we OK are to pick this issue but at a later date or status:rejected if we will not take this up or disapprove of this request.
