Using "pending" status for issues solved in CVS
Dimitry suggested we could use "pending" status of an item to mark issues solved in CVS.
- Con: It violates the definition of "pending" used by SourceForge[1], according to which "pending" is a synonym to "author action needed", meaning that the author of the item should provide further information so that the team can solve the problem.
- Pro: It helps to distinguish issues solved in CVS from those not solved at all. SourceForge does not provide any other suitable state, the other ones being "open", "closed", "deleted".
- Con: New users coming to see the trackers will probably see only open items, not those pending (really?). Those using the stable version will thus post duplicate entries; presumably many of them will use the stable version.
