Current B.O.O. new bug creation "Severity" options:
Critical Major Normal Minor Enhancement
Instead of resolving bugs "FEATURE", they could be changed to "Enhancement", and people looking to see if a request has already been made wouldn't have to search 3 (4?) different trackers (B.O.O./github/progress.o.o/FATE) to (hopefully) find an answer.
cf. bugs.mageia.org has exactly the same "Severity" options as B.O.O. bugzilla.mozilla.org in addition to those above provides "Blocker" & "Trivial" bugs.freedesktop.org has same selections as B.M.O. bugs.webkit.org also has same selections as B.M.O. bugzilla.gnome.org includes "Blocker" & "Enhancement" but not "Trivial" bugs.kde.org has "Wishlist" rather than "Enhancement"
The problem with this is 95% of feature requests don't belong in openSUSE trackers in the first place, if you have a feature request for part of gnome, kde or firefox for example you are much better off creating the request in there bug tracker then ours. Because it is much more likely that the upstream developers rather then the openSUSE packagers, as mentioned in the minutes we are working on a simple look up page to direct users to the right spot. There are select cases where creating openSUSE Enhancement tickets are probably correct, like if you thing application ABC should be installed by default as part of a gnome / kde install etc. Its also worth noting that the openSUSE bugtracker is shared by several different companies under the Microfocus umbrella (including SUSE) so we have no control over the "Severity" options and may choose not to use them all regularly.
