Re: Bug Tracker: organisation?

[Willow Liquorice]

Hello again,

A new role may be necessary. Seems relatively straightforward to 
implement, though, just by leafing through the manual, and you can 
figure out just what exactly an "updater" can do:

Creating roles: 
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/Admin_Guide/html-desktop/#admin.user.access

Configuring roles (I think): 
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/Admin_Guide/html-desktop/#admin.lifecycle.workflow.thresholds

I've noticed that I can only remove tags that I've added, and can't 
manage tags themselves.

I was thinking that one of the first things we could do is create a 
"Meta" project on the Bug Tracker, for identifying and discussing issues 
with overarching workflow (like the Bug Tracker, and maybe our build 
system). That way, these threads of conversation don't get lost in the 
mailing list. What do you think?
