Some of the issues are really just questions whether this should happen or not (e.g. <a href="https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/3888" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/3888</a>).<br>
Instead of creating an issue, should we ask on this mailing-list? Or what is the recommended way to ask whether the community wants to see a specific MR?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just my opinion, but I think the key is that we need to be a bit flexible and find strategies that means we get to closure (pun intended) on issues :-)</div><div><br></div><div>For trivial stuff it's probably easiest to just create a MR, and unless people really dislike it, it will go right in.</div><div><br></div><div>For larger things I think the issue tracker (with thumbs up/down) works great for votes, but then we might want to aim for a setup where we post about that vote on the list and tell everyone they author will submit a MR (or close it) based on the poll results in e.g. 10 days. </div><div> </div><div>I would like to reduce the amount of issues that stay open indefinitely, so we might want to be more careful about initiating votes for things we don't intend to contribute ourselves (feature requests from users is of course a different matter!)</div><div><br></div><div>I'll see how many of these suggestions we can get in a new issue template :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Erik</div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Erik Lindahl <<a href="mailto:erik.lindahl@dbb.su.se" target="_blank">erik.lindahl@dbb.su.se</a>></div><div>Professor of Biophysics, Dept.
