That said, I _do_ wish the tracker would maintain history of DISCUSS
and COMMENT comments, instead of only showing the latest ballot text.
It does. Click "view details", and you get the substance of the
commentary.
May be it *could* do that, but this would require that someone was
updating that entry in the tracker with the historical discussion. AFAIK
no-one does this. So we just see the original text of the DISCUSS, and
sometime later something like "DISCUSS cleared".
It would be so useful to be able to see what was done to clear the
DISCUSS. Hopefully, once shepherd can tend their sheep (oh, sorry, make
additions to the I-D tracker) it should be possible, although still not
mandatory, for someone to document the closure (not just the fact of
closure) on all DISCUSSes.
Adrian,
If an AD modifies their DISCUSS text, or moves a DISCUSS to a COMMENT,
all that is in the tracker. What isn't there is the email trail.
Are you suggesting we should consider capturing all relevant email
threads in the tracker?
Having some experience of RT which does exactly that, I frankly doubt
the value except for archaeologists. But I suppose it could be done,
e.g. by opening an RT ticket for each thread and linking it into the
I-D tracker.
