Workflow Requirements

Here's a list (incomplete - please contribute) of things we use tools for in our development process:

• Issue tracking
  • IRC notification of new tickets and ticket review / openness state
  • Mail notification of new tickets
  • Mail notification of subscribed tickets
  • Ability to delete comments (spam)
• Web site
• Source browser
  • line number links
• Revision control
  • commit notification to IRC
  • commit notification to email
  • buildbot builds on trunk commits
  • buildbot builds on arbitrary branches
• Revision control / ticket integration
  • automatic or easy association of branches with tickets
  • ability to close a ticket with a commit
  • reopen a ticket with a commit
  • automatically post a comment with a commit message

If some better tools come along that can do these better, we should use them instead.
